[rescue] Boats?

I want an original Japanese Zero in flying condition.  I think just
for historical purposes they should pull some of those off the ocean
floor and refurbish them.

As for ex-military watercraft:

They don't have the Whiskey Class Russian subs for sale anymore -
bummer. :-(

I'll see if I can't post the pictures.  They were going, in easily
restorable condition, for about $500k.

They had 6 more like it available.

Still wondering how I'd get bandwidth on one of those though. :-)
