Cmdr. Alain Balmaceda, commanding officer Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast, signs the cutter's rudder “El Tiburon Blanco” after a successful dry dock in Bellingham, Wash., Nov. 17, 2018.
The Cutter Steadfast reportedly earned the nickname “El Tiburon Blanco” to Colombian drug traffickers, translating to “The White Shark” for being a nemesis to their smuggling operations.
