    It could be turned into a bar, but it might become a dive.

    Thats not new Gonzo!

    ALL outboards are submersible, and most of the smaller ones have proven that once in their lifecycle.

    The ideal power plant for a concrete sub is of course a Stirling engine all you need is hot air!

    Poor power to weight ratio there, as how would you get enough politicians in a submarine so you could get enough hot air to make it work... If, however, the objective is to facilitate the early and permanent retirement of many politicians, a bigger submarine and plush internal appearance, to attract the said politicians inside for a depth test... - - I do not like submarines so it would not work on me, and I am not a politician :eek:

    It is still not big enough to hold the proper quota (quorum?) of politicians.
