Submarine YachtMost submarines are strictly displacement vessels
consisting of round steel hull under a fiberglass fairing to make
them more streamlined and protect all of the mechanical parts
outside the hull. However "Proteus", a design by Herve Jaubert
formerly off Exomos in Dubai integrates an unconventional dry cabin
into a submersible yacht. There is a great story behind this! See
the book on Amazon. "Displacement 45 tons, carries 10 people in the watertight cabin
and up to 15 divers on deck. 1200HP diesel engine for surface and
200 kw electric motor for submerged transits. 300 miles range
surface, 24 miles range under the water. Manned with 1 pilot and 1
engineer
