This a very small sub, designed mainly for quick attacks against coastal, and other targets along rivers that are accessible from the ocean. Due to its fast speeds, it is very difficult to catch and it also has a radar/sonar resistant paint coating on it, so it can infiltrate some of the most highly defended facilities. Its main weapon is the missile launch system with the G-3 Nerve Gas. The machine guns and the torpedoes are mainly meant as defensive weapons although they can be used as offensive weapons. It carries 10 missiles but the launcher only holds 4 missiles at a time and needs to be reloaded manually. The missiles and machine guns can only be fired from on the surface of the water due to the fact that when not in use they retract through hatches into the body of the sub.


Unit Cost: $910 million
Annual upkeep cost: $800 thousand

Due to Homeglan's anti-militaristic approach to things, we decline your offer, although it is very attractive.

ooc: Solar cells are not exactly a good choice for powering a submarine. For a start, they produce very little electricity, meaning that your submarine will have nothing like the amount of power it needs for propulsion, weaponary, sensors, and more basic things such as lighting. Also, solar power is even less efficient under water (where I assume your submarine will be at least some of the time).

Also, your submarine could not reach that kind of speed.

Finally, I doubt that you could fit all that you needed in your submarine into the size shown.

Feel free to prove me wrong on any of these points.

1) due to its small size it is deffinately possible for it to reach those speeds.
however, all things considerred you do make some good points and i was planning to make some changes to things such as, power source, and how many missiles it can hold. This my first store front and i am open to advice. I DO NOT, however, appreciate or need your criticism and rudeness so, if you wish to offer me advice on it I am open to it.

ooc: I apologise if I came across as attacking you. I was merely trying to offer some advice.

Geoff. Take it easy. It's constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is the same as advice. If you go around flicking people off, you'll get less business. And he wasn't rude to you.

Taldaan, I apologize for Geoff's little temper tantrum there. He's kinda grouchy today. In the meantime, if you're interested in other submarines, I have a storefront, too.

I apologize and now that i read it it again it does not seem as rude as i first thought. So, thank you and sorry at the same time.

ooc: Thats alright.

This sub was designed specifically for use with the AHAB class submarine. Because the AHAB is not too well armored and does not have any real offensive weapons besides the G-3 nerve gas missiles and it has weak armor to enable it to move at high speeds, it has no real defense besides the counter torpedoes against attacks, and only 2x .50 cal. Machine guns for defense against aerial attacks. The White Whale class has been designed to transport the AHAB to its designated target then defend it while it makes its attack.

I designed the white whale class to be used as a transport for the ahab. this is a much stronger, much more powerful sub. I hope that this will inspire people to buy my ahabs.

well.....i guess that this store is a total failure so i am going to close it down in 48 hours if no one decides to order any of my submarines.
thank you, and goodbye

This store is officially closed.
