Bales of cocaine fill a cargo hold within a low-profile go-fast drug smuggling vessel interdicted by U.S. authorities in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean July, 25, 2019. U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (WMLS 757) crew members seized more than 2,100 pounds of cocaine from the interdicted vessel during the cutter’s transit from the Pascagoula shipyard where Midgett was built to the cutter’s future homeport in Honolulu where the cutter is scheduled for commissioning during a dual-commissioning ceremony August 24, 2019 with Midgett’s sister ship the Coast Guard Cutter Kimball (WMSL 756).
