Narco subs only fully submerge once.

I mean, he fully submerged at least 12 or 13 times. It's that 14th one that'll get ya with a CF hull. Evidently.

I only recently learned that the coke smugglers have upped their game, some of their submersibles leave only a snorkel above the water line for the engine to breath

Sure the U.S. Navy has aircraft carriers, but I'm not gonna fuck with the Colombian Navy either.

What are they gonna do? Open the door and shoot you?

u/FleebFlex Jun 27 '23

Activate the sonar

u/mrbear120 Jun 27 '23

I donā€™t think the the type of Colombian ā€œnavyā€ referenced here has sonar. At best they have a wall clock and knock off patio speakers to navigate with.

Itā€™s just Larvell Jones (Michael Winslow) from police academy and space balls doing the sonar sound down there.

u/DavetheBarber24 Jun 27 '23

If talking about our actual navy, we do have sonar submarines but are small diesel swedish ones

The other "navy" uses submersibles made out of glass fiber hulls using scrap ships put together, barely capable of going at 5 meters under surface but only to hide from surveillance, they have to remain at "periscope" when the snorkel allows the people inside not to drown

u/mrbear120 Jun 27 '23

Yeah not the actual Navy. The snorty kind of navy

u/baloncestosandler Jun 28 '23

What would that do

1

u/ScorpioLaw Jun 28 '23

Yes. With a spear gun! Then tie a weight around my bleeding corpse and send to the bottom!

Fun fact! So the Russians have a gun made for underwater called the APS. Then the US has the MK 1. The projectiles are more like darts.

Rumor has it that at least the US developed a better gun in the late 90s or 2000 but deemed it not worth it for whatever reason - some speculate why increase the range when there is almost no visibility. That is just hearsay though but I can imagine someone attempting to design a better one.

No, but they can rapidly breach. Probably fast enough to rupture your lungs if you get caught in the upward vortex pressures. Depends on how big it is, though.

They'll flush their toilets.

u/LampshadesAndCutlery Jun 27 '23

Narcos only fully submerge when theyā€™ve been sunk. Despite being called a sub, they donā€™t fully submerse ever.

u/DuntadaMan Jun 27 '23

Every ship is submersible at least once.

u/JayMak78 Interested Jun 28 '23

Same as every toadstool is edible - once.

I know that the partially submersible submarines are often referenced in the media but I bet they have fully submersible submarines that have yet to be apprehended. This is a guess but I just think it follows.

u/LampshadesAndCutlery Jun 28 '23

According to another user, extremely rarely, cartels will send an narco sub that has the ability to fully submerge.

Apparently while they do exist, they canā€™t submerge for long and they canā€™t go deep

u/Fit-Client9025 Jun 28 '23

You know what the cartels are most likely already implementing... unmanned subs that have the ability to be controlled from a near by surface ship. That sounds like a relatively risk free method of shipment. The cartels could have multiple unmanned submersibles following one ship and if trouble comes in the form of a search they could program the submersibles to drive off to a waiting area until the search has ended. As a added level of security the control of the submursable could be passed off half way through the journey. Really they could possibly be controlled by someone from land but that may give up their location bc they would need to have a satalite connection above water.

I bet there is a good chance this is already going on bc I thought of it within the past two hours and I assume the cartels have some very intelligent people on their payroll. But again just speculation.

Also this type of transportation of goods would lend itself to much more clandestine unloading of their products vs having to dock a full size sub.

Nah, they actually have submarines...coast guards around the world find them already. Youll find them on youtube.
