One hundred and twelve bales of cocaine recovered from a drug interdiction are offloaded onto the deck of the guided-missile frigate USS Nicholas (FFG 47). Navy and Coast Guard personnel recovered approximately 4,910 pounds of the contraband after it was dumped from a vessel during drug interdiction operations in support of Operation Martillo off the Pacific Coast of Colombia. The estimated street value of the 112 bales is more than $367 million. Operation Martillo is a U.S., European, and western Hemisphere partner nation effort targeting illicit trafficking routes in coastal waters along the Central American isthmus. (U.S. Navy photo)
