    None of the subs I've been browsing have stats for the amount of time they can last underwater. I did see that they require half the crew of a militarised sub, though, so there's a saving there.

    most of your modern (cold war and newer) subs have an operational run at around 4-6 months...

    the operational window for most tourist/research subs are obviously considerably less... something like no more that 3 hours on ones that you can get up and move...

    you wouldn't want to be down for more than 3 hours in something relatively small...

    Sure. As far as I know, most nuclear power plants in the U.S. and some other countries are owned by private companies.

    Also, there's this.

    Sadly, I'm only rich enough to afford the front half of a yacht.

    He designed a yact to maximize the amount of hot naked chick sun bathing area, the whole point of yacting. That's not half a yact, it's more like one and a half yacts.

    Back in the early 20th century they sometimes used uranium in kinds of steel. If you could find lots of old steel you could conceivably get your uranium without any mining.

    Enriching it might be a problem but there is more than one way to skin a catfish. If you were willing to use a time consuming and extremely inefficient method you could do it without the need for restricted materials or machinery.

    If you have the sub already then why not look for some of the lost atom bombs/cores scattered in rivers and oceans around the world.

    The only bad thing about this yacht is that you'd need a helicopter for the landing pad, and you know, those are expensive.

    It's actually a landing pad for a Harrier jet. the truly rich have no need for your pedestrian helicopters.

    I especially like the storage area for a smaller yacht. In case your nephew wants to have a slumber party or something.
