Good job Mexico!

A LOT probably get through. It won't be long before they're building stuff with more sophistication. They certainly have the money.

Yep, they surely need GWX and a better uboot.
And now I'm pretty sure that the Kaleun of that submarine was Bernard.

Hey, maybe that sub will go on auction. They sell off drug seized surface craft.

Keep your eyes and ears open, boys, we might get the first Subsim fleet going...

You know, assuming they did manage to get a Boomer to use for smuggling "missile silos for extra coke storage" it would all be fun and games until one of them tried to cook his tortillas or empanadas using the reactor core and the food grew at a rate of 1.356 per quarter hour exposed per 80 rems.
