As usual, the war on drugs types are hyperventilating about how much cocaine (200 tons) the 
thing could haul. (You know, the $2,000,000.00 per kilo "street value" they like to trumpet)!

>From the pictures, the pressure hull is about 8 ft in diameter and 100 ft long. That's about 5,000 
cubic feet of TOTAL interior space. even if you filled the ENTIRE space with cocaine, like it was 
a silo, and you had it compressed to the same weight per cubic foot as water (62.5 lbs/cu ft.), it 
would only hold about 157 tons. This doesn't allow for engines, batteries, crew or equipment, not 
to mention breathing space. The figure quoted for the total diameter, of what looked like a WWII 
diesel boat cross section, was 11 feet.

At least one of the pictures of the interior had what looked like staggered battery racks in it. It 
appeared to be built in flanged sections that could then be bolted together when it was at the 
ocean. From what I could see, it looked very much like what I had designed, for when I win the 
lottery (any day now)!
