Shameless Plug:

For more info visit the Blog of me and some of my cohorts, we have a running file on these Narco Subs among several other topics.

That is one impressive Blog TLAM http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

I was never aware so many (semi) submersibles are in use by the drugs runners for such a long time...nice blog.

@tlam: very interesting read, thanks for your "shameless self-promotion":salute:

It hasn't been on my radar, that the technology of the narco-subs already advanced to this level. But I am in good company: even in the bbc-report they said it was the first real sub. I wonder when the first nuclear narco submarines - which makes them nucnarcsubs :D - will appear. I'm sure some russian mobsters have some old reactors for sale...

Can you tell me where the Cartagena boat is located today? As it seems it is open to the public. My guess would be, well, some beach in Columbia :smug:

My two partners deserve the real thanks. I just make the 3d models. ;)

I think its at the Cartagena Naval Base, but I'll ask around.

Where are the Pic from...
 

Midget sub? Yeah the site is cool..:agree:

He's being modest, of course. He's actually contracted out to....

*THIP* :o
*THIP* :doh:


*thud* :dead:

:har:

@ Vendor: If you are looking for the Midget Sub stuff go to the bottom and look for the older posts for June.

@Penguin: My friend says they are at the Colombian Coast Guard based in Cartagena. 10 24'58.69"N 75 32'56.18"W if you look in Google Earth you will notice a low profile boat tied to the Pier as well.

thanks man, I found it on Google Earth. It's even hard to detect on the beach, image it in the water :o

Thank you for the info...
 

:yep:

The DEA has posted several big photos of this sub incl. some interior shots.

wow, that looks like it was put together by some hobby DIY guy. Wouldn't sail in that thing for even a lot of money. Makes you wonder how many crews have died in such a thing nobody knows about...

I give 'em an A+ for 'interesting use of steering wheels'. :haha:
