Submarine Carrying 5 Tons of Cocaine Seized off Guatemala
 
I found this rather surprising.

It's not fair that criminals get all the cool toys and I have to pretend to be in a submarine :nope:

A snowboat?
A great white shark?
:rotfl:

Hmm, I see a potential subsim right there. Silent Hunter V: face modern ASW in a crappy drug-running sub!

Come on. Would surely appeal to Grand Theft Auto fans as much as subsimmers.

Back in 1997, they nabbed one while it was still in dry-dock. They make these things up in the mountains, then float them down the rivers to the open sea. After that, I suspect they're usually towed around the Horn by hooking it to a series of large international freighters that have been bribed to pay no attention.

Fuel records would be a problem, since expected fuel consumption would be off from the drag.

If they were smart, they would have painted it grey.

Heh...if they were smart they would have secured the cargo better and made it innaccesable to the crew.

"WOOHOO! PARTY!!!"

"WHAT? WHAT? I AINT AFRAID OF THE COAST GUARD! HEY COAST GUARD! HEY!....HEY!...OVER HERE! YOU CAN'T SEE US! WE'RE INVISIBLE!!!!"

How do these subs run and look like inside? It would be cool if they could take interior shots of these drug subs.
