    I work in aviation regulatory law but, a friend of mine does work in this arena. I did ask him if my analog existed in the nautical world and he was able to walk me through how he’d managed to avoid any regulatory oversight. There’s SOLAS but, other than that, it’s a gap that apparently needs to be closed.

      I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like the subs only operate in international waters. The ships carrying these deep sea submersibles dock at ports, but the subs themselves are cargo until you get out into the middle of nowhere.
