Undersea Narcotics
Spanish police discovered drug smugglers building a narco-submersible in Malaga on the southern coast. It’s massive, over 30-feet long and 10-feet wide, and capable of moving 2.2 tons of cargo at a time. If that cargo is cocaine, they’d be looking at a street value of $500 million. This story casts drug-running activities in a zany what-will-they-do-next light. A back yard giant submarine attracts a fair amount of attention. The submersible is plywood, coated with fiberglass, attached to a structural frame. They equipped it with two 200-horsepower engines that a “crew” would operate from inside the vessel. It has an “iceberg construction” where the bulk of the cargo room is beneath the surface of the water, with just enough of the vessel visible for only the mother-ship to see its approach. Narco-submersibles are a popular solution for drug smugglers to move cargo to and from land to a large ship anchored out at sea. This vessel never achieved its maiden voyage.
