Coast Guard Cutter Stone's crew interdicts a suspected drug smuggling vessel approximately 250 miles off Ecuador, Sept. 11, 2025. This interdiction, one of 15 conducted throughout the Eastern Pacific Ocean, contributed to the seizure of approximately 49,010 pounds of illicit narcotics worth more than $362 million, which the Stone’s crew offloaded at Port Everglades, Florida, on Nov. 19, 2025.
