Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast crewmembers aboard the cutter’s 26-foot Mark IV interceptor boat come alongside a fishing vessel suspected of smuggling cocaine during Steadfast’s counter-drug patrol in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, July 10, 2019. The interdiction and boarding of the fishing vessel yielded more than 9,000 pounds of cocaine, the largest amount of cocaine the Coast Guard has seized from a single fishing vessel in approximately 10 years.
