- News of the model was reported on Friday by Gizmodo.
- The submarine boasts 14 windows that are about 15 feet in terms of diameter each.
- These present extraordinary views to its passengers.
- That is perhaps the favourite feature so far.
U-Boat Worx, a company known for building private submarines, has unveiled a new and distinctive model that will have spectators wondering whether it was designed with a Bond villain in mind as reported by Marine Insight.
Entertainment platform
The submarine’s name is reduced to ‘UWEP,’ which stands for Under Water Entertainment Platform. It measures around 115 feet long, 23 feet tall, and 25 feet broad, with 1,600 square feet of floor space available for entertainment. Gizmodo broke the news about the model on Friday.
It can hold up to 120 passengers, which is a large number for a submarine. The ship is powered by a 1.2 megawatt-hour battery hidden beneath the ship’s decks.
The battery can last for around 18 hours after being charged once, and the submarine can travel at a pace of about 3 MPH underwater. The submarine can also dive roughly 650 feet deep.
In the event of an emergency, it has a backup power system that can be activated instantly to keep key systems running for about 96 hours until help arrives.
Tourism businesses
The submarine has 14 windows, each measuring roughly 15 feet in diameter.
These provide guests with breathtaking views.
So far, that is probably my favourite feature. You might be wondering what visitors can see in the blackness of the sea, particularly at night.
The ship’s designers took this into account and outfitted it with massive and magnificent underwater spotlights that provide a sight of the seabed. When the submarine is not submerged, its top can be used as a big lounge deck where travellers can get some fresh air or enjoy a spectacular view of the sea. The vessel is surrounded by safety railings, making it safe for guests to relax.
The UWEP is now beyond reach for most people, but some tourism businesses may purchase it and give tours on it.
