    The document summarizes the key details of a narco submarine that was captured by Ecuadorean military. The submarine was fully submersible and built by drug traffickers to smuggle tons of cocaine from South America, likely traveling along the Pacific coast to Central America and Mexico. It had a wooden frame, fiberglass exterior, periscope, hatch, batteries to power it underwater, twin diesel engines for surface travel, and a cargo hold capable of carrying at least 7 tons of cocaine. There was no apparent sleeping area or galley, but room to lie down onboard.
