Since I'm dropping the list this will be the last submarine I build for the 50's (for now). Hope you enjoy this one! I got something special in mind that may or may not come before the Typhoon and Sarov requests, you'll see when it's out!

    Nice sub.

    Oh btw Vault is essentially lying about everything on that post and he’s blocked me so I can’t defend myself on that post.

    I never made death threats or threatened to doxx anyone. That is a complete lie.

    Just to let you know so you don’t get the wrong impression of me.
