I been said this but...the boats with the drugs on them are...American Cruise Lines.
Seaplanes load straight to the ships on the Mississippi and then the drugs drop port to port up the river, weapons back down it with police escort.
Like...it worked in the 80s and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

1.) For the curious: why did flying boat airliners flourish in the 1930s and then vanish?
Seaplanes in the early days of commercial aviation offered the ability to fly to destinations all over the world as long as there was calm water to land on, and basic facilities to refuel and repair there.

Before the 1982 conflict, aviation on the Falkland Islands was increasingly important to the health, wealth, and well-being of the islanders. During WWII, many seaplanes visited the islands, this Sunderland for example.

Idroscalo di Pavia in Pavia, Italy

In that era, seaplanes were preferred for transoceanic flight because if the aircraft couldn't fly, it could still float. That idea reassured nervous passengers. In the mid 1920s, Societá Italiana Servizi Aerei (SISA, or Italian Air Services Company) established a route from Torino to Trieste.

U.S. shipyards lack ability to timely construct AIP submarines. Bengal Aircats MIGHT fulfill some of the LCS broken promises & frigate delays —although ASuM remain a significant bottleneck as well as dangers stemming from a lack of local air superiority. We need missile seaplanes & AIP subs now.
