Check out this video of the U.S. Coast Guard scrambling to seize this narco-sub with seven tons or $180 million worth of cocaine before the semi submersible sinks after being scuttled. This one was found with the help of a Customs and Border Patrol aircraft, most likely an ex-Navy P-3 Orion subhunter. P-3s operated by both CBP and the U.S. Navy are becoming an increasingly important tool for intercepting maritime drug runners due to the advent of fully submersible narco-subs like this one.

Watch as the crew scrambles off and the vessel sinks in the Caribbean sea off the coast of Honduras. An FBI dive team later recovered the massive shipment of cocaine.
