The U.S. government announced on Saturday afternoon that for the first time ever a fully operational submarine used by drug traffickers has been seized in the waters of South America. The craft, which could move multi-ton loads of cocaine, was seized in a jungle tributary of Ecuador leading to the Pacific Ocean by Ecuadoran authorities using Drug Enforcement Administration intelligence. The sub is diesel-powered, has a periscope and air conditioning and measures 100 feet long and 9 feet tall. At least one person was arrested and an investigation continues, according to a news release from DEA. Although traffickers have used so-called “narco subs,” low-slung boats that are fully covered and ride low in the water, this is the first full-on submarine ever found in their hands. added by: Stoneyroad
