Building a nuclear submarine
 

What do I need for my own nuclear - driven submarine ?

I need this very fast, can I build one in 6-8 weeks ?

No .... it takes too long to commission the reactor.

You'd be better buying a secondhand one.

Really it is much easier to just board one and take it over, especially in
Russia. If you have to money you could probably even hire the crew to do it
for you.

Very true.. The Russians are selling their old nuclear subs for scrap or
what ever..

A business friend is in the ship salvage business an purchase on about 4
years ago.. There was so much interest from the public to board and tour it,
he turned it over to a 'foundation' that operates it as a public/waterfront
attraction.. It was in Vancouver BC for a while and is now in Seattle.

But the OP would still have to build a reactor since in both the US and
Russian subs, the reactors have been removed and are in storage..

Ok, I'll bite (somebody has to, so why not me?)...

WHY do you need a nuclear sub in such a hurry?

If you need decals for the side, I'll be glad to give you a quote! I'd
prefer a sub rowed by a band of idiots personally. Less maintenance.

You are in luck, I have a couple of them available at the
moment. I will need a pretty hefty deposit though, cash or
diamonds, contact me to make arrangements.

Delivery can be arranged for a modest fee, cash or diamonds
in advance please. It's not that I don't trust you, but
these nuke boat deals have a way of attracting less than
reliable buyers.

The boat you are referring to is an old "Whiskey" class desiel electric
boat. It was one of the main "tools" the USSR used in a futile attempt to
detect and track us "Boomers" in the cold war.

It was fun and very interesting for us to actually get to tour an example
(when in Vancouver) of our old nemisis. Those poor bastar__s lived like
rats in a hole! In the end, we are all brothers, and we felt sorry for
them.

You are absolutely right that I souldn't reply without copying the part I am replying to. I do apologize. I am not psychic either although several have suggested that I am psychotic or something like that.

I know it's fun to feed the troll, and I usually read the replies and
have a laugh. But the OP is beneath comtempt.

"Most men take pictures of their willies with digital cameras"
"My soundcard sounds like my asshole"

Are a couple of other posts on other forums.

I've enjoyed all the replies to this OP, but somewhat seriously, has any
one built a personal sized SUB, say 4 person cap. With a max dive depth
of say 40 feet or so, this should be do able, no? Maybe I just read too
much of the "Mad Scientists" series growing up.

First off, you will need some "dilithium crystals" for your warp drive. I
believe you can find these in the Vega star system. Oops that's space travel
at light speed,, sorry.

Ok lets try this again.

I'm pretty sure you will need a "flux capacitor". This may be found at
universal studios in Orland, Florida. Last time I tried to borrow it they
got ****ed and locked me up.

Shoot! I did it again,,, that's time travel.

I guess I can't help you since I know nothing of your primitive outdated
nuclear propulsion systems, good luck.

You might do further research by contacting the University of Florida. I
know they've built small-capacity submarines in their mechanical engineering
department. It may be a good place to start looking.

Try looking at this site: giffordmarineinc.com These guys are building

Building a nuclear submarine
 

Quite a few sites out there concerning building a submarine. Unlike boats
there are specific and unique issues pertaining to pressurization/hull
strength, window thickness/materials (the fewer windows the better IMHO but
that will depend
on application), internal oxygen/air/atmosphere.

Do a Google search for terms like: submersible, personalsubmarine. Be
prepared to buy or locate one to three very specialized and expensive texts
pertaining to submarine design/engineering. Its worth it. The topic of
designing and engineering portals for submarines is worth studying very
dilligently and in great detail and for very obvious reasons.

Something along the lines of neutral buyonacy is really what you strive for
in a submarine body. Loosely speaking: "you dont want it to float, you
definitely dont want it to sink". There is a guy who designed a sub that has
a nice emergency recovery system that brings the submarine back to the
surface in the event of an emergency. Look a around a bit for that site. I
believe that he also amassed a great deal of knowldege about portal
engineering.

Nuclear power? Perhaps you might consider the hydbrid of diesel +
thermonuclear power (?) based on Strontium-90 which has a long half-life and
decays into non-radioactive Zirconium. I didnt say that Strontium-90 was
cheap, did I?

See: http://www.psubs.org/

Among other things, maybe look for a reference called "Pressure Vessels".
There should be a link on PSubs.

I understand the better models have a 'hand crank' mechanism attached to the
prop to serve as a back-up in case of battery failure or reactor melt-down!

Also, the lead underpants is another good option when ordering!

Now the Phoenix is a class act. And at only $78M it is a bargain. Beware
of the advertising though, I know from experience that at depths greater
than 450ft it is still possible to enjoy the gentle rolls of a nice north
Pacific storm, say 30+ degrees each way. You may ride out a bit of a blow
but the bad ones will get you anyway.

I believe Michael Jackson now owns the plans (and perhaps the real

selling, although I don't know if it is nuclear powered (have heard
it was converted to a 'little boys' engine system).
