A moon pool or a regular one?
Just a regular one, but I imagine theyâll add one if you ask for it.

Length overall: 165.8 m Beam: 23.0 m Draft: 8.6 m
Not a nautical engineer, but those seem to be comparable to known military craft. So thatâs probably a decent envelope for a sub carrying ordinance and full crew. So, lots of free space for a pleasure craft.
Range: approx. 15.000 km
To pump these numbers, thatâs likely surface cruising at some optimal speed. We can safely say this isnât a nuclear sub, since that would be something to boast: your ârangeâ is really âhow much food do you have?â since that runs out first.
Submerged duration: approx. 4 weeks
This oneâs tricky. There are ways to generate O2 without electricity. But the rest of your environmental controls like heat, light, plumbing, cooking, etc. draw power. So we can assume a pretty beefy battery bank on this boat, but not excessively so, in order to stretch into that 4 week range. But thatâs nothing revolutionary for subs - Electric subs go back to 1888, with diesel/electric hybrids coming along after that.
Depth: approx. 250 m
Totally plausible and shallower than military craft. But maybe not with the viewing windows in the illustration.
It even has a pool inside it!
A moon pool or a regular one? Either way, thatâs extravagant. But it looks like a moon pool wouldnât work below 50m or so.

As a Subnautica player, Iâd more or less demand it. Even if it limits the max cruising depth.
Considering that the record for longest continous submersion of a diesel-electric sub is something like 2 weeks, i highly doubt that 4 weeks in a civilian vessel is achievable
Ah, thanks for the fact-check. I didnât think to look that up - yeah, so theyâre fudging the numbers just a tad.

Pffft, bush league. The Titan has been submerged for checks watch 272 days with no end in sight.
