Subject: Drug subs on Massclubs
Content:

I had heard of drug subs not never knew how serious. Read this interesting article by Fox News.

In the last 6 months the U.S. Coast Guard along with the U.S. Navy have found 42 submersibles headed north towards the United States and off the coast of Central America. That is double the number found in the previous 5 years combined. These subs can carry as much as 10 tons of drugs or even weapons and some of the latest models can move 15 knots. This is obviously troubling and makes our war on the cartels that much more difficult. We are currently at Coast Guard Island in Alameda California, where the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Sherman is located. The ship has recently returned from operations off of Central America, where finding these subs is proving difficult. They are primitive but effective and built similar to the subs used in the civil war. Usually about 6 inches or so sticks above the water, which is almost impossible to spot. During the day the subs sit, preserving their cover for movement at night. Here is some great raw video provided by the U.S. Coast Guard. FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING UPDATE There is some concern within our national security forces that these subs could eventually, of not already, carry weapons and/or terrorists north without detection. Also, if the drug runners sink the sub, or burn it and the evidence is lost, then the Coast Guard is required to rescue the drug runners and then safely release them on shore.
