This might be best split to another thread (do so if need be), but I was wondering if any late WWII era subs might be worthy of inclusion into DW. The idea or "precedent" for this, if you can call it that, was some stories years ago that drug cartels were interested in acquiring them. That also reminds me of the current narco subs (semi subs) that are being used right now. They are comparable to the midgets in size, and would be great in drug enforcement missions.

Finally, while it's been out for a while, the recent coverage of the M80 Stiletto had me dreaming of seeing it in DW too. It's also meant for use against the drug trade. Perhaps their behavior could be based on the stock hovercraft?
