Mexican Navy Seizes Drug Sub ! Mexican navy seizes cocaine sub :P
More than 250 packages of drugs were found in the submarine
(In related news...over 600 Hollywood Celebs had to be put on immediate suicide watch upon hearing of this !!!)
The Mexican navy says it has seized nearly six tonnes of cocaine found inside a 10m-long (31ft) makeshift submarine in the Pacific Ocean.
A naval spokesman said they had known about such submarines but this was the first time they had seen one. US intelligence helped in the operation.
Four Colombian crew members have been taken into custody.
In a separate development Mexico's army seized at least 12 tonnes of marijuana in the city of Tijuana.
The haul is the largest since President Felipe Calderon sent thousands of troops to the region along the border with the US.

Yup a substantial one too, according to this...

More than twice as many ships as the US navy, only a fraction of the manpower though.

Navies are not judged by their size or manpower....

Indeed.
Although, all other things being equal, a good big 'un will usually beat a good little 'un.
