Yer a little out of date. They used to (and occasional still try to), but submarines are slow and easily intercepted if found. Our sub finding equipment for this purpose has improved dramatically.

Yes apparently so, I've not kept up with technology.

More recently, crime bosses have become far more ambitious, commissioning fibreglass creations to ship huge hauls of cocaine thousands of miles to the coasts of Portugal and Spain.
Casarin said the eye-watering profits involved in cocaine trafficking explained why South American criminals continue to use subs, despite the risks.
A kilo of cocaine could be bought for $1,000-$2,000 (£740-£1,480) on Brazil’s border with Colombia, the world’s top cocaine producer. In Europe, where consumption is soaring, the same amount could be sold for about $60,000. A sub that successfully smuggled 5 or 6 tonnes of the drug to Europe could net its owners $200m-$250m. “The profits are astronomical,” Casarin said.
Javier Romero, a Spanish journalist who is one of the leading chroniclers of the narco-sub industry, suspected South American kingpins had inaugurated the subaquatic trafficking route in the late 90s.

‘Insane journeys’: inside the narco-subs that cross oceans carrying hundreds of millions of pounds of cocaine

See post 105.
Indeed.
Why is Hegseth to chicken to let the American people see the tape?
I've been wondering the same thing, Lf.
These far left loons love drug running terrorists more than our own children.
Did you ask for the tapes when Obama killed terrorists?
But... But... But... whatabout!
I understand he would likely not be charged, they do not have the same constitution there as we have?
Are you stupid?
Obama never did, did he?
Indeed.I'm just curious why you never criticized him for his Presidential actions when he tried to protect American by eliminating terrorists.

Fiberglass subs have been largely abandoned in favor or metal ones, even becoming quite sophisticated. These were intercepted too.
The fiberglass junk ran just below the surface, unable to descend any further. The were only slightly better than the plywood ones they would knock up in someone's backyard. They finally tried sophisticated metal submarines and diving much deeper.
The idea was to avoid radar. Sonar got them instead. As a result, the use of these slow subs has diminished greatly.
So now they are trying high speed boats, which are difficult to catch by other ships. These suckers can move at 60mph. The only practical way to destroy them is by missile. The boats are cheap, and though some are destroyed, others get through. A single boat can carry up to 4.5T of product.
I suppose when one of these is destroyed, the nearby fish get high for awhile.
