I ran across this and found it interesting. Even though it was reported in 2006 I had not heard of it before. Source: http://rc-sub.com/projects/viewproject.php5?id=34 The sub appears to have been made for the 2000 movie "U-571" ( Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-571_(film) ) starring Matthew McConaughey. Here is a link to the prop and effects company McCune Design, who may have made the submarine: http://www.mccune-design.com/u571.html
