Self propelled = unmanned = nobody to arrest, just the drugs.

One had a round hatch, the other a square hatch.

Different contractors?

Drug smuggling? Who cares...

How many bibles did they have? Or, how many cartons of evil cigarettes? Was their a SUV on the submarine??

That must be in Pesos or something?

For that kind of dollars, they could lease the U-505.
The Chicago City Council would cut them a fair deal.
