I have heard the same, it costs about 600.00 USD to build a submarine in Colombia. Those people from Guajira, maybe.....

That's $600,000US, but it is profitable enough that they are discarded at the destination.

I was sure that was what you meant, huskie.

But I have seen, elsewhere, numbers as high as $2,000,000US, and a year to construct, and they probably still make obscene profits.

Yeah, Doc. Those damned things are evil, but fascinating, none the less.
