I watched a show years ago about the guy who helped the drug runners start using subs. At the time he said they were single use, made to be ditched after one delivery. Each load was worth about $100 million. When they started, they were not powered, but instead dragged behind boats, submerged, a half mile back. That way if Coast Guard showed up, they'd simply cut the lines on the sub and keep cruising. Once Coast Guard was gone, they'd go back and recover the sub via homing beacon. Pretty dang ingenious.
