I live underwater. I move silently. I am deadly - Submarines

I ambled across the concrete near the church where a huge open air book sale was going on, wondering about the best way to spend a warm and sunny sunday afternoon. I rummaged but was looking not for intellectual heavyweights or racy bond novels but for picture books that come very cheap at these events. I chose the largest of the books I could find and opened it - it was about these silent, potently deadly creatures which slide across the ocean floors.

I was spellbound by a 2 feet long picture of a submarine majestically breaking free from the depths of loneliness to sniff a whiff of fresh air (called the emergency surfacing manoeuvre). I stared it for a full minute and knew I was hooked for life. I have been a sucker for fighter aircrafts since I started watching "wings" on discovery. Now, I am a sucker for submarines. I watched with awe when they were moored in San Diego... I keep watching K19 and The hunt for red october... I fantasize about building my own miniature submarine (a 4ft model costs $800+, hmpf...) and I dont hate the water that much nowadays. So, if you are planning on giving me a gift and are blessed with a lot of money, you know what to do. Meanwhile, if you are poor and are like me, take a look at these videos:
