Cargo Submarines...

[micromachine]

I have been thinking about this for quite a while and I would think that one "nuke" sub sans weapons would be an excellent cargo hauler, not for tactical items such as tanks and howitzers, but more for industrial diamonds, essential personnel (machinists, draftsmen, brewmeisters, etc), and "payoffs" to other factions.
It is worthy to mention that the sub's own reactor would be an excellent "alongside" powerhouse, so long as you have the proper nuclear engineering officers on hand, and an adequate security force to keep it behind closed doors.
I also think that there is a weapons locker and a machine shop aboard, precious heirlooms that must be husbanded against future needs.


Food for Thought!
