On the 221st anniversary of the founding of the US Coast Guard here is a dramatic look at the service in action.
Narco Sub With 7.5 Tons of Cocaine Caught in Caribbean
The Coast Guard caught a narco submarine trying to smuggle $180 million worth of cocaine into the U.S., intercepting the drug vessel as her own crew tried to sink her off the coast of Honduras.
Coast Guard video shows the crew of the semi-submersible craft jumping off the boat and into a yellow life raft. As a Coast Guard boat comes alongside, the submarine can be seen quickly sinking into the Caribbean.
