Drug Running Sub
 

Ok.. this FLOORED me..

I can not WAIT to see what the interior of this looks like. I wonder if they are going to do see trials to see how it performed.

If it's seaworthy I hope they put it up for auction.

USS. SUBSIM. :woot:*** :arrgh!: YO HO HO.

If they do I wouldn't want to test it. It's basically the same as having everyone on here pitch in in building a sub for ourselves. Yes some people might know what they're doing but I wouldn't want to risk a crash dive in it :O:

Interesting looks like a descended of the 1995 Cartagena submarine.

This is getting beyond ridiculous now. This stupid "war" on drugs has produced nothing but pyrrhic victories, massive debts, and even more drugs. Now they have fully-functional submarines? When will this idiocy stop? Jee-zus, you fight international terrorism for less than a decade and everyone's sure it's a war that can't be won. You fight drugs for half a century with even worse results and people get upset about stopping it:roll: Utter madness.

What a ya gonna do ? (I shrugs my shoulders) dammit I wish we had an emoticon for that. Hey Jim !!! :DL

Now the US authorites have it, will they put it up for auction? Lets bid on it:D

Maybe it can be donated to Afghan navy as a part of reconstructing effort of the country?

I see a new future for sub sim games...

I guess it was only a matter of time... I'm very impressed by the engineering and logistical commitment, and I would really love to see more detailed information, such as whether it is designed for multiple runs or is disposable, like the semi-submersible narco-boats. Shame we likely never will.

Wow, this is the first time that they discovered a narcosub which can possibly really dive. Untill now, the were rather semi-submersible vessels than real submarines. This gives the "periscope sighted near the Florida coast"-incident a new angle.
I am really curious to get to know the technical details of this boat.

Like MrYenko, I am just interested in the boat itself. Too bad there is only the one end-on picture.

Moved to appropriate forum.

Get a better scale of the sub with this pic.
