Alameda, Calif. - The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Waesche, homeported in Alameda, interdicted two separate drug smuggling vessels within a 36-hour period. A helicopter aboard Waesche directed the Waesche's Over the Horizon interceptor boat to the scene to recover 13 bales of cocaine, totaling 500 kilograms, and five suspects. Less than 24 hours prior, Waesche intercepted another vessel with cocaine on board. U.S. Coast Guard photo by CGC Waesche.
