The Pensacola-based Coast Guard Cutter Decisive deployed in late September on a 40-day patrol and returned to its homeport in Pensacola on November 3rd having seized more than 20 million-dollars’ worth of cocaine and marijuana in south Florida. While on patrol, the crew interdicted two go-fast vessels and a low-profile vessel carrying a total of about 900 pounds of cocaine and 2,700 pounds of marijuana. The cutter’s law enforcement team detained nine suspected smugglers and transferred them to federal agencies for prosecution. The patrol was part of an enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere that was launched April 1st by the U.S. Southern Command. The operation aims to disrupt the flow of drugs in support of national security objectives.
