U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf’s (WMSL 750) crews offload contraband in San Diego seized during their 77-day counter-narcotic patrol, Nov. 29, 2022. Bertholf’s crew performed multiple boardings of suspected drug-smuggling vessels while patrolling international waters off the coasts of Central and South America, which led to the detainment of multiple suspected drug smugglers and the interdiction of more than 1,050 pounds of cocaine.
