I was just making a joke, but I suppose it doesn’t even need to be manned. Just big enough to pack cocaine in and remote pilot or self-guide to a destinstion like a torpedo. And that could be cheap.
It’s also probably easier to just make a new one rather than send it back empty and risk your route being compromised or something. Twice the trips is twice the chance that something gets noticed.
