Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Yet another "drug" sub captured.

[clientes@tolimared.com]

As p-subber living in colombia i really hate to touch that theme so i  
will it make it quickly - most of those boats are very rudimentary  
semi submersibles - so would not classify as "submarine" saw the thing  
on colombian TV - very poor acme intent looks like if the owner had  
been his best customer during building - the only serious intent that  
has been made so far was a russian technician guided military stile  
steel sub. It was discovered even before going to water. Anyhow  
although a often mentioned story the whole idea is complete nonsense -  
due to cold war IF united states really is prepared to detect ANY  
vessel approaching its coasts it is a submarine! All cold war was  
about that - all sensors are developed and built around that - all  
navy and coast guard was formed and trained around that !  There is  
also a VERY close cooperation between colombian navy and us-navy on  
that - and one of the few arguments military can give to keep navy  
budgets up after cold war has ended is this - so sorry guys - these  
are stories but complete nonsense for somebody who has a remote idea  
of reality in colombia and about submarines...

colombia
