Remote Controlled USS Seawolf Brings Cold War Fun to Your Hot Bath

2:45PM October 24, 2008 | Gizmodo US Edition

If bath time’s gotten boring for you recently, why not try reenacting the Cold War in your tub? Here’s a submersible radio-controlled replica of the USS Seawolf SSN-21 submarine, with a funny little periscope themed remote thrown in for good measure. The real Seawolf was commissioned in 1989 as a response to the Soviet Akula class of submarines. No word on whether RC-versions of those are out there somewhere. Available at Brando for $US55.

    My son and I bought this and the “Connecticut”. They operated on different frequencies and were lots of fun in the pool. We also made “sub-safe” mods to enable the to go beyond the 3 foot max depth.
