We All Live in a Yellow Submarine: Sub Full O' Coke Seized
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-Guatemala-Drug-Submarine.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A submarine-like vessel filled with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cocaine was seized off the Guatemalan coast, U.S. officials said.

Four suspected smugglers were operating the self-propelled, semi-submersible vessel when it was located and seized on Sunday evening by officials from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard, the Border Patrol said in a news release Wednesday.

When the suspects realized they had been spotted by drug-surveillance aircraft patrolling the eastern Pacific, they scuttled the vessel but were unable to escape.

"Abandon ship! BLUE MEANIES"
