Crews intercepted a drug-laden, 40-foot self-propelled semi-submersible (SPSS) in the Eastern Pacific carrying approximately 12,000 pounds of cocaine, worth over $165 million and apprehended four suspected drug smugglers.

    Two individuals are seen on what appears to be a low-profile semi-submersible vessel on open ocean waters. One person wearing a red life vest and dark wetsuit is positioned on the hull, while another person is emerging from a hatch opening. A cardboard-wrapped package and a green elongated object are visible near the hatch.

    The image shows a ship's helicopter deck (helipad) with numerous bundled packages arranged in rows. The packages appear to be wrapped in cardboard and secured with purple and black strapping tape, consistent with contraband seizure documentation. This appears to be an official law enforcement or military interdiction operation display.
