Drug Running Sub

TLAM Strike · 07-03-10, 09:54 PM

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

Utter madness.

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

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

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.

Get a better scale of the sub with this pic.

Actually this is the 5th "True" submarine they have found.

1st was the 1994 Tayrona Sub

2nd was the 1995 Cartagena submarine

3rd 2000 Facatativa Sub (Built with Russian assistance)

4th was the 2006 Vigo (as in Spain!) sub

(Totally unrelated to the Colombian Cartels)

The 2010 Ecuador sub makes 5

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.

And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?' Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant.
