When you interdict, you get evidence, you seize the drugs, and you get the individuals on that boat, and then you, you put pressure on them to give up their superiors and you can actually build cases against the kingpins. When you interdict, When you sink it to the bottom of the sea, you not only destroy the evidence, destroy the ability to know even if drugs were on the boat, you also don't get the ability to build a case against the kingpins.
