#1 Sell one or two of the subs. Israel could use them; so could India. Walrus-class boats are supposed to be pretty good.

#3 Taiwan has been in the market for diesels for quite some time. Dunno if the merchants of Amsterdam are willing to peeve the Commies, though.

#4 I always wanted a submarine.

So you want to have an NoS (Navy of Steves) as well as AoS (Army of Steves)?

#7 mrp, that's a honorary title, no application needed, has to be deserved. ;-)

#8 Where can one find an application to become a Rantburg Space Cadet?

A number of years ago Mr. Lotp taught at the USAF grad school, having been involved in space matters for his entire uniformed career to that point.

On his walls was a "Pigs in Space" poster. On his desk was a mug with the picture of Marvin the Martian and the title "Space Cadet".

We still have the mug. It could be the rallying point for the RSC if I could pry it out of his possession .... ;-)

Oh hell yes! And if we can fish some Intruders out of a pond somewhere, we'll have an air wing too. Arghh, mateys. From the sea, forward!
