If you have spotted this unusual looking yacht at Keppel Bay recently, you'll be surprised to learn that it is actually bomb-proof.
The 120m long yacht cost $377 million to build.
The vessel has a striking design and looks like a submarine warship.
Keppel Corp, which manages Marina at Keppel Bay, said the yacht is the most costly private vessel to dock at the marina this year.

The vessel's owner, Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, is in the country for personal reasons. Little is known about the intensely private billionaire's visit here.
The yacht is christened with the letter "A", after his wife, Serbian model Aleksandra Nikolic.
It is unclear when the yacht left Singapore's waters or what events were hosted on it.
Keppel declined to reveal more details, citing client confidentiality.
Designed by Philippe Starck, the vessel's interior is decked with shiny white finishes and crystal tables, reported The Wall Street Journal.
Many of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The walls of one room is reportedly covered in white sting-ray hides, while another is covered in hand-stitched calf 's leather.
The mega yacht also has three pools, three jet skis in a storeroom that can be converted into a disco, and a 60-inch television screen that retracts into the ceiling.
Many visitors at the marina were taking pictures with the vessel as this reporter left the marina at around 8pm yesterday.
Said STOMPer Andre:
"It was really cool to look at.
"I was at Harbourfront on Mar 19.
"It is probably the most awesome boat I have seen docked there."
