EASTERN PACIFIC OCEAN – An interceptor boat from the Coast Guard Cuter Sherman sits alongside a panga following a counter drug seizure at sea, Jan. 18, 2017. The boarding team interdicted the panga with over 1,300 pounds of cocaine aboard. Sherman is on a counter narcotics mission in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Cutters like Sherman routinely conduct operations from South America to the Bering Sea conducting alien migrant interdiction operations, domestic fisheries protection, search and rescue, counter-narcotics and other Coast Guard missions at great distances from shore keeping threats from the U.S. mainland.
