A crewmember of the Coast Guard Cutter Heriberto Hernandez (WPC-1114) recovers a bale of cocaine jettisoned earlier from a smuggling go-fast vessel July 16, 2020 in the Caribbean Sea. The crew of the Heriberto Hernandez recovered a total of 55 bales which weighed approximately 1,375 kilograms and were estimated to have a wholesale value of 38.5 million. The interdiction was the result of multi-agency efforts in support of U.S. Southern Command's enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere, and during Operation CAST NET II, in coordination with Joint Task Force-East.
