    Two U.S. Coast Guard personnel in tactical gear are conducting a maritime interdiction operation aboard a small open boat (panga-style vessel). They are examining and handling bundled packages secured with rope, consistent with a drug seizure operation at sea. The vessel contains multiple fuel containers and other items typical of a go-fast smuggling boat.

    Coast Guard Cutter Stratton crew apprehends suspected smugglers in Eastern Pacific Ocean
    The image shows a maritime interdiction or law enforcement operation at sea, with multiple vessels present. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with personnel aboard is positioned alongside a smaller civilian-style vessel carrying several individuals. The scene is photographed from a larger patrol or law enforcement vessel in the foreground.
    Two uniformed personnel wearing orange helmets and life vests with a visible U.S. flag patch are transferring a large bundled package from a smaller vessel onto what appears to be a Coast Guard interceptor boat. The operation is taking place on open ocean water, with a second boat visible alongside containing various gear and equipment. This appears to be a maritime law enforcement interdiction operation, consistent with U.S. Coast Guard drug seizure procedures.
