Drug Interception
On December 6, 2009, ARM Durango, in a joint operation with a United States Coast Guard ship, intercepted four boats 55 nautical miles (102 km) from the Guatemalan - Mexico border in the Pacific. Twenty packages of cocaine with the weight of 262 kilograms (578 lb) were seized and nine men were detained.[1]

gollark: I hope you were not malloced using my implementation.
gollark: ++delete all operating system development
gollark: > strings prefixed by the length are bad because you cant take a subset of the string by just adding an offset to the pointer and have it be a valid stringWait, you can't really do that anyway with null-terminated ones if you want a subset of fixed length.
gollark: You shouldn't do that. That would possibly cause so many memory issues.
