Source-derived summary

The 11.6 m (38 ft) Deployable Pursuit Boat (DPB) gives the United States Coast Guard a new capability in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific. About 85% of the cocaine smuggled through those areas travels on "go-fasts", 9 to 12 m (30 to 40 ft) high speed craft which each carry 1,000 to 2,000 kg of illegal narcotics. Working with other Coast Guard assets, DPB crews are able to intercept and board "go-fasts", and significantly reduce the flow of drugs through the transit zone.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “USCG Deployable Pursuit Boat” as class of American patrol vessels. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 84-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where USCG, Deployable and Pursuit can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as class of American patrol vessels. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7866306. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
