    The image shows a maritime interdiction operation at sea, featuring a low-profile semi-submersible vessel (commonly used for drug smuggling) being approached by law enforcement or military personnel. A U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer is visible in the background, bearing a hull number consistent with the '68' designation. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is visible in the foreground, and at least one uniformed personnel is observed on or near the semi-submersible.

    The image shows a maritime interdiction operation at sea, featuring a low-profile semi-submersible vessel (commonly used for drug smuggling) being approached by law enforcement or military personnel. A U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer is visible in the background, bearing a hull number consistent with the '68' designation. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is visible in the foreground, and at least one uniformed personnel is observed on or near the semi-submersible.
    The image shows a large quantity of dark, rectangular bales arranged in rows on the deck of what appears to be a naval or coast guard vessel. The bales are wrapped in dark material and marked with green spray-painted numbers or codes, with red strapping visible. This appears consistent with a law enforcement drug interdiction seizure documented aboard a ship at sea.
    The image shows several personnel in military-style clothing operating alongside a semi-submersible or low-profile vessel on open ocean water. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is positioned adjacent to the larger flat, green-painted vessel. This appears consistent with a maritime interdiction or law enforcement boarding operation.
    A military or law enforcement helicopter hovers over an open ocean scene where two small watercraft are positioned side by side. One vessel appears to be a low-profile semi-submersible or go-fast boat, commonly associated with drug interdiction operations, while the other appears to be an inflatable rigid-hull boat (RHIB) with personnel aboard. This appears to be a maritime interdiction or law enforcement operation.
