Submarine

If you've ever gone out on a booze cruise and thought "gee, I wish there was less fresh air," this one's for you! Dutch submarine company U-Boat Worx has announced an enormous new underwater venue for up to 120 guests plus a full crew and staff.

Italian startup iSpace2o has announced it's starting production on the first hull for its Deepseaker DS1 submersible hydrofoil. This machine will rise out of the water to hydrofoil at up to 23 knots, or dive as deep as 50 m for underwater shenanigans.

Back in 2016, U-Boat Worx revealed a double-bubble tourist submersible named the Cruise Sub that could take up to nine people deep below the ocean waves. Now the company has unveiled an all-acrylic sibling with a single egg-shaped observation window.

Florida's Triton Submarines has created "the world's first submersibles with a free-form acrylic hull." It's pitching the new nine-seat 660/9 as a unique underwater experience venue for weddings, fine dining, casino-style gambling or cocktails.

U-Boat Worx has released an electric sports submarine with the speed and zippy handling to run alongside large marine life. The bubble-cabin Super Sub, originally a custom commission, is nearly three times as fast as the average luxury submersible.

The United States, Britain, and Australia have announced a new defense cooperation agreement called the "AUKUS" alliance, which will include helping Australia build its own fleet of nuclear-powered submarines armed with conventional weapons.

The Royal Navy has released an outline of its vision of how its Future Autonomous Fleet will operate over the next half century, including green aircraft carriers, underwater command centers, and robotic warships.

PES-Architects has been commissioned to transform a historic dock in China into a submarine museum. The building will be defined by a striking reflective facade and will be centered around a decommissioned Chinese military submarine.

When the first of the Royal Navy's Dreadnought-class nuclear missile submarines takes to the sea in this decade, the same fly-by-wire technology used in aircraft will be used to control all the major facets of the boat's maneuvering.

Resting 12,500 ft below the surface, the wreck of the Titanic has rarely been visited by manned submarines. But Triton's latest luxury sub can take you down there in air-conditioned comfort, and it sports a clever set of articulating gull wings.

Triton has turned its attention back to the luxury sector with a new six-person sub designed to launch from the garage of your mega-yacht. Its giant 2.5-m diameter spherical acrylic pressure hull is the biggest ever, giving panoramic views for six.

If you're on a secret military diving mission, chances are you don't want the enemy to see you getting into the water. That's where VICTA comes in, as it's a diver delivery boat that transforms into a submarine.
