Caught a whiff of this from the Rachel Maddow show.
Similar to something that was in a James Bond movie.

The Navy has announced that their 200 million dollar water monster, the “Sea Shadow“, has no use to them and they are looking for a new owner. The crazy thing is that they are giving it away for free!!!!

Sea Shadow, 160 feet long and 70 feet wide and comes with 12 bunks, a table, a microwave, a fridge, and a gigantic covered mining barge that the CIA used to keep Sea Shadow protected from satellite surveillance. Sea Shadow berths inside the barge, which keeps it safely hidden from spy satellites. The barge, by the way, is the only fully submersible dry dock ever built, making it very handy — as it was 35 years ago — for trying to raise a sunken nuclear-armed Soviet submarine. If they don’t find a new owner, they will scrap the old thing. How sad!


Comes with a ship that keeps it hidden.

that's the catch. there's probably a mountain of paper work (and possibly fees) and the maintenance just for upkeep is gonna be crazy. It may be more trouble than it's worth for any nation that's qualified to actually get it for "free."

But it's still a pretty cool concept!
