Sure looks dangerous to me

What would they do if the crew didn't open the hatch?

Do they have any sort of "sticky" concussion mines they can attach to the superstructure to "ring their bells" if the crews don't respond?

Lacking that,I guess they could plug the air intake. Might take a few minutes,but when the engines shut down and there is no air to breath,they WILL open the hatches.

VP Pence lauds Coast Guard crew for massive cocaine haul
By: Geoff Ziezulewicz

Vice President Mike Pence stopped by Naval Air Station North Island near San Diego on Thursday to honor the crew of the Coast Guard cutter Munro, which offloaded nearly 20 tons of cocaine seized during recent counter-narcotics operations.

Flanked by bricks of cocaine nabbed by the Munro as well as the cutters Vigorous and Mohawk, Pence lauded the Coasties for “this momentous occasion and this historic offload.”

“I came here today on behalf of your commander in chief and the American people to say thank you for a job well done,” Pence told the crew. “And welcome home.”

The patrol by the three cutters across large swaths of the Eastern Pacific confiscated more than 18,000 kilograms of cocaine — plus 423 kilograms of marijuana — that officials estimate is worth $569 million on the street.

Officials also released harrowing footage of a drug bust at sea that featured Munro’s crew members leaping onto a narco-sub as it tried to flee.

Those guys mean business! 

Wonder where the sub was from?

Those guys mean business! 

Wonder where the sub was from?

Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Ensenada, further south.  At San Diego you look across the world's longest ocean distances both to the south and to the west.

At Crystal Cove State Park, between Corona Del Mar, nd Laguna Beach, small boats have come ashore.

Somebody could have a pickup nearby. Sometimes a boat will be on the beach, abandoned. Sometimes people will be caught nearby.


Nearby homes range from $2-5 million. Trader Joe's and Pier One parking lot is nearby, in which to try to blend in with the homeowners.

They should have just sunk it, with all hands on board.
