Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] drug-sub mania

Some more pictures of it here:

This is the third real alleged drug running sub found and the second fiberglass one.
None of which seem to have ever operated.  A real submarine is significantly more
complex than a boat which runs with it's decks awash.  To get a viable working
design would require a strenuous long/in-depth shake down phase to get all the
bugs and kinks out of all the systems.  I am not sure this could take place without
somebody seeing and subs being captured while operating.  I think it's more likely
that if any of these have operated they have perished in service.
