    Delphin as in the Soviet Delta IV series SSBN. I would never much NOT trust the 1903 Imperial Russian Delphin submarine.

    Also dang, I knew that sounded off. I couldn’t remember if Ohio or Los Angeles were the ballistic platform.

    Botched steel aside, something tells me that those submarines would preform leagues better then this decrepit jerryrigged mess. Hell, in a worst case scenario, an Ohio or Los Angeles has dozens of bulkheads, emergency rooms, emergency surface launchers, and safety measures to stay alive until rescue arrives. If this disaster as much as springs a leak… good luck.

    I have no idea why anyone that isn’t deranged would ever trust their life to this contraption. You couldn’t pay me to man that wreck.

      And yet, Elon Musk’s shit tunnel thing is basically the same thing but on land—a subsurface transport system with no escape should something to wrong (which it definitely will, given enough time).
