Cargo Submarines...
I've been doing a little reseach on Typhoon submarines, and read where Rubin Design Bureau has been wanting to create merchant cargo submarines based upon the Typhoon hull. This has been something Sci-Fi writers have been doing alot (i can't count the number of pictures from the Cyberpunk RPG sourcebooks of various cargo subs that look like the Typhoon-class, admittedly one of the coolest looking subs i've ever seen)...
It's made me ask the question "If the Cold War had continued, how much more developed would Submarine technology have gone?"
Would we actually have cargo submarines operating in use by both the civilian and military markets?

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
