Game. Set. Match. Littoral Combat Ship.

In response to the Navy's new 380 foot toy, drug smugglers are countering with a submarine. Built in a jungle. But don't worry, it has a periscope. I mean seriously, look at this thing.



First of all, I want to know how these drug entrepreneurs plan to get this 100 foot long submarine from La Loma - in the middle of the Ecuadorian jungle (see point A on the map below) where it was built to avoid detection - to the ocean without being, well, detected.



And why are all the newscasters excited that the submarine has "air conditioning, and even a periscope." Have you heard of a submarine before?

The camo is also awesome. Are they trying to hide in a Warhol painting?

But in the end, perhaps the serious embarrassment falls on the most powerful government in the world for not being able to stop these devastatingly brilliant drug runners? Nah, I think I'll put my money on the LCS. The ALCS.
