Submarine seized in Ecuador marks new drug-smuggling era
A 100 foot twin-screw diesel submarine fully capable of long range underwater travel was seized at a jungle shipyard near the Colombian border in Ecuador. DEA regional director Jay Bergman called it the first fully submersible craft for transoceanic voyages found, a leap beyond earlier semi submersibles used to transport cocaine toward the United States. The vessel, built for 50 crew plus 10 metric tons of cargo, features a conning tower, periscope, air conditioning, and full submersion capability, with authorities awaiting further analysis on its dynamics and backers.
