Or as they are also referred to in this piece, narco-submarines. In April I wrote about this phenomenon on this blog. You can read that post here. Now in this CNN video you get a fascinating look at several of these vessels. At the beginning of this footage you see one underway, the Colombian navy and U.S. Coast Guard trying to apprehend it and the crew giving up but scuttling the vessel before the authorities can get to the alleged 8 million dollars worth of cocaine on board. You are also taken on a tour of one such vessel that was caught and is in dry-dock at a Colombian naval base.
