A Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk (WMEC 913) small boat crew operates near the anchored motor tanker Veronica in the Caribbean Sea, Jan. 18, 2026. Mohawk's crew retrieved a joint warfare team that had provided security and navigation assistance aboard Veronica following its interception and seizure by a Coast Guard tactical team with Department of War support; the retrieval marked the end of a 700-nautical-mile escort of the sanctioned vessel to a secure anchorage.
