Petty Officer 2nd Class Carlos Gonzales, a port security specialist assigned to the Sea Marshal team here, leads an inspection of a vessel's lower decks. The Sea Marshals typically conduct a board a by dividing into two teams. One team will immediately go to the bridge to interview the ship's master and inspect the ship's documentation. The second team will conduct a physical inspection of the ship's spaces. USCG photo by PA3 Louis M. Hebert
