ahead. WHY do you want a sub? Possibly:

1) ex-sub man, I can't fault that, I want a M48 myself
2) want's to do undersea research?
3) been watching 'Run Silent, Run Deep' a few dozen times?
4) OK, I'm out of reasons except,
This is a free country, pretty much, and by dang, if a guy wants a sub,
then why shouldn't he have it?

I suspect the last, although my curiosity runs rampant. Would you share
your motive for your, say, highly unusual quest?
Then again, if you have your reasons-------------.......
