Bigfoot
Have you ever heard of a narco-submarine or a drug sub before? If you haven’t, you should know that the Bigfoot submarine is a kind of an unmanned submersible vessel created by drug traffickers to smuggle drugs and other contraband from a remote location. This was a narco-submarine caught in Ecuador in July of 2010. The members of the Colombian drug cartel have been found to use the submarine to bring cocaine from Colombia to the United States via Mexico. It comes with sophisticated technology, which makes it easier to evade sonar, radar, and infrared detection systems. The subs were dubbed Bigfoot since people used to think that such watercraft was only a myth.

INS Kursura
The fifth submarine of the Indian Navy was none other than the INS Kursura. During the 31 years it spent in the Indian Navy, the submersible vessel has traveled around the globe and traveled a distance even greater than the Earth’s diameter. The submarine was in service during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, participated in naval exercises with various countries, and acted as a messenger of peace. In 2001, it was decommissioned and turned into a public museum on the Visakhapatnam or Vizag. It is considered a “must-visit destination” in the area since it has not lost its originality no matter how much time has passed by. It was nearly flooded when Cyclone Hudhud hit in 2014, but the government did something about it.
