Looks like it was made to run shallow, with a very limited range. Some one must have seen the coast gaurd and took off, or some one was really desperate. Good pics. Does anyone have pics of the one that was captured in the mountains of Columbia in 2000? What happened to it?

I don't really think it should be called a submarine, unless a
major part of it broke off or I'm missing something it doesn't
really look it the tower would get submerged. Semi-submersible
at
best.
Cheers,
Ian.
