 (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Following are the perceived highlights
 SG1A
 -- There are a small number of submersible vessels in
 existence located in the Caribbean Sea area and they are ideal
 for transporting cargo undetected. The vessels have some
 technical communications capabilities and are run by South
 Americans operating within this region. They have carried drugs
 in the past consisting of white packaged cocaine or marijuana and
 some munitions or fire arms for protection purposes. Since these
 specific vessels tasked hereto were abandoned and no longer in
 use, it is reasonable to assume there is nothing of value found
 on them now. This is not a solo operation but involves a highly
 organized group consisting of some Latin American speaking
 individuals. A middleman of particular interest is tall with a
 sculpted face and long black hair. A large profit for illegal
 contraband has been obtained by these people who have been
 suspect of illegal activities in the past.

 -- This abandoned vessel could have been sighted by an
 aircraft flying over it. The vessel is of Central/South American
 origin. The fact that it was abandoned could lead one to believe
 that it is no longer wanted for its use. In the past history of
 drug trafficking, sometimes these types of vessels are abandoned
 once they have been utilized for such activities. These types of
 vessels are usually old and dirty. It is not perceived that the
 owners are looking for or wanting this vessel back in their
 ownership. There is nothing on board this vessel.
