  • "Euronaut" is a private project of a research and diver support submarine around Carsten Standfuss - a German naval architect. It has been designed between 1988 and 2000. Then it took another 12 years to build it on holidays, weekends and after work. Most systems on board are second hand and homebuilt.
    The sub has overall length of 16 m (52 ft), surface displacement of 57 tons and is capable of diving up to 250 m (820 ft).
    Transit speed is up to 6 knots with a 190 hp diesel engine. Electric drive measures 40 kW.
    The life support system provides air for the crew of six persons for a week. The diving chamber allows saturation dives to the depths similar to the operational depth of the submarine.

      So what sort of legalities and permits must someone require an ascertained for item like this and what limits are there are to stop people from doing things that they shouldn't do do because it seems to me then that if if a group of enthusiasts with private money and access to the White Facilities can you build this then surely we have enough money they could build something slightly bigger they wanted to 4 for various purposes

      Using "German people", is a kind of emphasis : The people of Germany as one entity, share a common hobby, building submarines in theyr spare time.
      I'm not a native english speaker, after all. So maybe, what I tryed to say in my joke, have better way to express it, and my kind of emphasis is not working as I intended.

I remember one night he woke me up (drunk on moonshine) and told me that he was building me my personal submarine.... I was like 5 years old. I waited for years without daring pester him about the progress he was making.... Eventually I realized grandpa was a big drunk and probably forgot by the next morning hahaha.... Definitely makes my day to see people who actually got their sub, even if they built it themselves :-)
