About 15 years ago I attended a briefing at SOUTHCOM HQ when the problem of "go fast boats" was discussed. These are drug smuggling boats, with 4 $50K outboard motors - all of which are abandoned after one trip north. The Coast Guard had primary responsibility to intercept them.
The go-fast boats carried 2-4 people. Not 11.
Unless their tactics have changed, this was not a normal drug smuggling boat. I think we killed civilians.
