Re: [Electric Boats] SWATH stealth ship for sale

 

Actually not for sale.  They want a museum to take the project on but no museums can afford to take it.  The Navy has been trying to give it and it's submersible dry dock away since 2006 but no luck.  Extended the time to get it for one more year and then its off to the scrap yard.  Myself I would take it off their hands and create a floating home inside it.

This baby is for sale. It's a SWATH design, so it is very stable with very low drag, a natural candidate for electric propulstion. And, the large sloping superstructure is PERFECT for solar collectors!
