Members of the Mexican Navy inspect a makeshift submarine in Salina Cruz port. A 10-meter-long submarine plied the Pacific Ocean carrying cocaine, showing the growing sophistication of drug smugglers. 'It's not a military submarine, it's 33 feet long and from what we know they're made in the Colombian jungle to carry drugs." said navy spokesman Captain Benjamin Mar.
