Boarding team members from the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf and Pacific Tactical Law Enforcement Team board a low-profile-go-fast-vessel suspected of smuggling cocaine during a counter narcotic patrol in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, March 3, 2018. Low-profile-go-fast-vessels are designed to evade detection by law enforcement agencies because they ride low in the water and are painted to blend in with the ocean. U.S. Coast Guard photo.
