Personnel from the Coast Guard Investigative Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted a joint boarding off Galveston, Texas, and brought back more than $1 million in cocaine Dec. 24, 2012. The joint team boarded the 900-foot crude-oil-tanker Godavari Spirit from the Coast Guard Cutter Manowar after the ship notified the Coast Guard of a suspicious package, which turned out to be 31 bags of cocaine totaling 86 pounds.
