It even has a pool inside it!

Why would you want to spend 4 weeks trapped in a hotel with no windows?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 9 months ago

Because you're filthy rich and want to let all those pesky peasants know how much more valuable your rich life is, so much you can literally "survive underwater" while they suffer on the surface

[-] stom@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It has windows.

Clarification: the bogus AI images they've got have windows in the viewing gallery. It's all bullshit though - it features the images from SAFE that are allso bullshit but keep popping up in various articles, notably* the MRI room.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Even if there are windows they might as well not be there because it will be pitch dark all the time. And any light you shine will reveal... nothing.

[-] stom@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Not so. You should really look at the info before commenting lol.

"It's got no windows!" - there are windows pretty clearly visible in the renders.

"There's no light down there!" - it tops out at 250m, light reaches about 800m.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Ha, fair enough, although I'm not reading any article about an idea this silly. I still don't want to go on any holiday where I can't leave the hotel.

[-] stom@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That just means you're commenting on something without knowing anything about it, and so far everything you've commented has been incorrect?

It comes with two boats, jetskis, a helipad, and the ability to surface. You're not trapped in a hotel with no windows. It's not pitch black. You have ways to leave. It would have taken less time to learn this by reading the article than it would have taken to type this bollocks.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ah, I'm sorry, you caught me, I made a flippant comment about a submarine that doesn't exist. Thank you for enlightening me so graciously.

[-] stom@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Nah, you were trying to shit on something and point out flaws with a hypothetical product wihout even bothering to read about it. You got called out on talking shite - don't take the hump.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

This has already taken more time than it deserves from either of us. My criticisms were uninformed, sorry, I still think it's a shit idea. I don't want to stay in a hotel in which for significant portions of my stay I can't leave. I realise it's not really different from a cruise - I think cruises sound awful too, and this just adds on that some of the time you can't even go outside.

Let's tear this apart.

Length overall: 165.8 m Beam: 23.0 m Draft: 8.6 m

Not a nautical engineer, but those seem to be comparable to known military craft. That's probably a decent envelope for a sub carrying ordinance and full crew. So, lots of free space for a pleasure craft.

Range: approx. 15.000 km

To pump these numbers, that's likely surface cruising at some optimal speed. We can safely say this isn't a nuclear sub, since that would be something to boast: your "range" is really "how much food do you have?" since that runs out first.

Submerged duration: approx. 4 weeks

This one's tricky. There are ways to generate O2 without electricity. But the rest of your environmental controls like heat, light, plumbing, cooking, etc. draw power. So we can assume a pretty beefy battery bank on this boat, but not excessively so, in order to stretch into that 4 week range. But that's nothing revolutionary for subs - Electric subs go back to 1888, with diesel/electric hybrids coming along after that.

Depth: approx. 250 m

Totally plausible and shallower than military craft. But maybe not with the viewing windows in the illustration.

It even has a pool inside it!

A moon pool or a regular one? Either way, that's extravagant. But it looks like a moon pool wouldn't work below 50m or so.

Submerged duration: approx. 4 weeks

Pffft, bush league. The Titan has been submerged for checks watch 272 days with no end in sight.

[-] stom@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

A moon pool or a regular one?

Just a regular one, but I imagine they'll add one if you ask for it.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

As a Subnautica player, I'd more or less demand it. Even if it limits the max cruising depth.

[-] RidderSport@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Considering that the record for longest continous submersion of a diesel-electric sub is something like 2 weeks, i highly doubt that 4 weeks in a civilian vessel is achievable

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ah, thanks for the fact-check. I didn't think to look that up - yeah, so they're fudging the numbers just a tad.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I hate when they don't post the price on the website

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

if you have to ask you can't afford it
