In this image obtained from the US Coast Guard on August 6, 2015, a Coast Guard Cutter Stratton boarding team opens the bridge of a self-propelled semi-submersible intercepted in international waters off the coast of Central America, July 19, 2015. The US Coast Guard said it seized $181 million worth of cocaine from a submarine-like vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, but even more drugs sank during the bust. The Coast Guard seized 12,000 pounds (5,400 kilograms) of cocaine from four smugglers on a semi-submersible ship, the agency said August 6. The vessel, which was first spotted about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south of Mexico, was carrying a total of 16,000 pounds of narcotics, but as the ship was being towed, it took on water and sank. Some 4,000 pounds of narcotics were lost in the process. == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO HANDOUT-US COAST GUARD/Petty Officer 2nd Class LaNola Stone"/ NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS NO A LA CARTE SALES / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==LaNola Stone/AFP/Getty Images
