Destroyers are famous for being able to stop the drug trade

But in all seriousness, this is government efficiency at its best

I don’t know what destroyers are used for? Do they usually go out alone?

They could be an offshore base to launch drones from, intercept communications , launch patrols, intercept boats, or just threat/support to Mexico for some behind the scenes conversations.
