 Hi Jurgen. 
  
Thanks, I appreciate the info. I especially like 
the part about the similiarity to the confederate "Davids" 
very interesting.

  Hello Bill the problem with smugling submarines is not 
  new.  They are in use since 1988 as I can remember.  Most of 
  this ship are not really submarines but semisubmarines, they can not 
  dive but they are very low so that they can not be detected by radar or 
  active sonar because the waves are higeher. Similar to the davids of the 
  US civil war. Since 2000 there are also real submarines in this 
  business.  They are used for transport the stuff from the coast to 
  high sea were it is put in other ships that carry it to the 
  destination. The sourroundings of Tumaco are controlled by the Farc who 
  is the one who is in charge of the business.  No body is going to 
  bother them in this activity.   As far as I know the last two 
  submarines were builded in the mangrove swamps.  And they were of 
  fiberglass. About one of this boats is dicovered every year. These 
  people have a lot of money and that is the fuel of the civil war in 
  Colombia.
  The most sofisticated submarines are being used in Mexico 
  but until now I could not find any information about them.
  In this 
  kind of thing you must think: "if there is money almost ever thing is 
  possible". Best wishes Jürgen
