Coast Guard Capt. Blake Novak, the commanding officer of the Munro, speaks to members of the media during a drug offload from the Coast Guard Cutter Munro in Alameda, California, March 23, 2021. "Our crew intercepted a group of suspected smugglers, on average, every 90 hours for 45 days straight, seizing nearly 30,000 pounds of cocaine and marijuana valued at over $330 million. Maintaining such a high level of performance was only possible because of a total team effort. This crew set the bar for excellence, and I am incredibly proud of all of them," Novak said.
