I like the second pic, it is bigger than destoryer (or cruiser?) to the left of it.

Had a missle defense system.. "submarine, which doubles as an escape pod..". I am sure there are many features not listed in the article.

I'd think he could afford a shave.

I curse Miami Vice for popularizing the "three day shadow".

Hmm, where is the CIWS system? Roll Eyes

Maybe that's it sticking off the side. Compare this to an Ticonderoga (Aegis) class cruiser, which is only 10 feet longer, but probably a lighter displacement.

I read "missile detection system", not CIWS or missile avoidance system.

I'm sure it sounded good when the salesman presented it: "For only $1 million I'll throw in a state of the art missile detection system!"

What's the point of a missile detection system, if you have no way of stopping it? I guess that's what the sub is for.

Apparently Russian Politics can be fatal.
His other toys include his 3 or 4 other boats.

As for lighter than a Ticonderoga class.. probably, but by how much. That article mentions a belt of armor around the passenger cabins
This thing is a step short of a warship.

And when he gets it delivered, yeah, it might not have guns, but I would guess someone this rich and powerful, and slightly egotistical, won't have guns on it?

He must have sold a LOT of "plastic ducks" to become so rich!

Or, maybe the "plastic ducks" were filled with drugs? Wink
