Can anyone here drive an oil exploration ship?

If the CIA won't be using the ship any more I figure /r/DarknetMarkets should get together to recover that narco sub that sank a month back.

Any takers?

Why not recover it and get it functional again... and host servers on it in international waters?

I'm sure there's an ebook somewhere about driving an oil exploration ship. I'm in.

methinks that if it sank, the booty is not longer worth recovering.

I stood at the helm for 10 minutes on my training cruise. School has a 450 ft retired break bulk frieghter. Licensed with Merchant Mariner Credential and as a ship's Oiler and Wiper. So....better then most here? You've got yourself a chief engineer.

Narco sub has already been looted by narcos if it was ever worth doing. I like your initiative though.

I can pilot that bad boy. Probably not very well, but I'll push buttons and turn knobs until something happens.

I once was a reigning champ at Ship Battles when I was 9 (that's when my friends and I would each build a paper boat then have battles by throwing rocks at each others paper boats, last one standing wins). I think I have the skills to be on this ship.

I'll be that fun guy who makes work much better but other than that: Medical experience and manual labor.

It would be cheaper to buy the coke at the source.

I don't know anything about driving a ship. Good with gun can help fend off the Pirates that are sure to come
