Cartels are using these 'narco-submarines' to move tens of thousands of pounds of drugs at a time

According to a US Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO) report
on narco submarines citing Drug Enforcement Administration statistics,
80% of drugs smuggled into the US in 2012 came from maritime routes. And
30% of the drugs that arrived in the US by sea were conducted via narco
submarines.
Like narco tanks,
narco submarines show how cartels have mastered do-it-yourself
engineering. Even so, around one in four of the vessels are interdicted.
US authorities have captured narco subs with as much as 7.5 tons of cocaine onboard.
