    Two law enforcement officers in dark uniforms are standing on the deck of a low-profile semi-submersible vessel (narco submarine) alongside a larger ship. The semi-submersible appears to have been intercepted at sea, with its hatch open and various items visible on its deck. This appears to be a maritime interdiction operation, likely a drug trafficking seizure.

    In this photo released by the U.S. Coast Guard, members of Coast Guard law enforcement detachment 404 survey the deck of the self-propelled, semi-submersible craft they seized on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008. The LEDET, embarked aboard the USS McInerney (seen to the left of the SPSS), seized seven tons of cocaine from the vessel. The estimated street value of the cocaine is more than $187 million. The seized vessel has the capability to travel from Ecuador to San Diego, Calif., without having to stop for replenishment.

    The image shows the interior of a circular hatch or access port, likely on a vessel or industrial container, revealing tightly packed black mesh/woven bags secured with colored ties. The bags appear wet or oily and are densely stacked to fill the circular opening. This type of concealment inside a vessel compartment is consistent with documented smuggling interdiction photography.
