Just what the poll question says: would you buy a special forces infiltration sub?

My Special Forces, Elite Special Forces, and NBCD Special Forces have so far either gone by helicopeter, paradrops, naval transports, or land to get to their destinations, but a submarine would be an extra twist. How much would they cost?

Well, it would be powered by a nuclear reactor, use water-jet propulsion, and carry a reinforced company (160 people). Given that, the current guestimate is anywhere from 600 million to 900 million. However, if we get enough customers asking for a lower price we would more than likely honor their requests.

What makes this sub different from regular submarines? Can't you just take an existing one, and just add on landing craft?

My country's ROTN special forces sector usually transports troops via stealth helicopter (revolutionary stealth rotor contact me for info), but I am interested in this submarine idea. First of all, how much does it cost? Second, is this sub capable of carrying ICBM's?

Pardon my earlier message, I had not seen the post answering my questions :oops: If they are priced from 600-900 million my country will take 15. *90000000000-....$ wired to your account* As you can see I am very ardent about my country's elite units.

The Virginia class has an advanced seal delivery system. Also, a Nuclear Reactor has conitinous pumps running(in the reactor) which in diesel-electric subs you can run on battery power when acoustic stealth is absolutely required

Exonerate: Have you ever heard of a sub that can carry 160 Marines/Special Ops at one time? This sub would have no landing craft, just swimmer hatches on the top.

Rebeland: This is just a general enquirey, we do not yet have an operational design ready for construction.

Doujin: Our reactors are designed for ultra-quiet operation as a standard proceedure for all subs, on top of many other things that make our subs incredibly hard to detect under normal conditions. In short, we can guarentee that our SSBNs and SSNs are as quiet as any modern diesel boat.
