Crewmembers aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Sitkinak, homeported in Miami Beach, Fla., offload 2,500 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $37 million wholesale value, Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014, at Coast Guard Base Miami Beach. The contraband was seized in a multi-national counter-drug operation south of the Dominican Republic and is the first time an armed U.S. Coast Guard helicopter embarked on a foreign flagged military vessel in support of counter-drug operations.
