    A crew from U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Dependable intercept a drug smuggling boat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The Cutter Dependable's crew returned to their homeport, Virginia Beach, Virginia, after a two-month patrol of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. During this patrol, the crew seized over 8,000 pounds of cocaine with an estimated value of $122 million which will be used as evidence to prosecute 19 suspected smugglers.

    An aerial photograph shows two vessels on open blue ocean water. A white open-hulled boat with twin outboard motors contains several individuals seated or crouching, while an orange rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with personnel aboard approaches it. The scene appears consistent with a maritime law enforcement or coast guard interdiction operation.
    A U.S. Coast Guard cutter with hull number 626 is anchored or underway in open blue ocean waters. The white vessel displays the distinctive Coast Guard diagonal racing stripe in red and blue on its hull. A red Coast Guard helicopter (HH-65 Dolphin) is parked on the aft flight deck.
    A group of seven law enforcement personnel, appearing to be U.S. Coast Guard members, pose on the deck of a vessel with two large stacks of seized contraband bales wrapped in black plastic. Several of the personnel are armed and wearing tactical gear, helmets, and sunglasses. The ocean is visible in the background, indicating this photo was taken at sea following an interdiction operation.
