    Two uniformed personnel, appearing to be U.S. Coast Guard members based on their blue uniforms, are handling a large stack of black mesh-wrapped bales on the deck of a vessel. The bales are bound with yellow and green cordage and appear to be a seized contraband load, consistent with drug interdiction operations at sea. The setting is the open deck of a Coast Guard cutter with ship superstructure visible in the background.

    Bales of interdicted cocaine lie on the flight deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton (WMSL-753), May 9, 2019. The drugs were interdicted in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Mexico, Central and South America and include contraband seized and recovered in over a dozen interdictions of suspected drug smuggling vessels by U.S. Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy ships.

    An aerial photograph of a U.S. Coast Guard cutter underway on open ocean, photographed from an elevated vantage point, likely from a helicopter or aircraft. The white vessel displays the distinctive U.S. Coast Guard diagonal racing stripe in orange and red on its hull. The ship is actively moving, as evidenced by the visible wake trailing behind it.

    An aerial photograph shows a U.S. Coast Guard cutter (hull number 753) at sea alongside two smaller vessels. One appears to be a Coast Guard rigid inflatable boat (RIB) and the other is a low-profile semi-submersible vessel, consistent with a drug interdiction operation. The image appears to document an active maritime law enforcement encounter in open ocean.
