The semi-submersible vessel was transporting 2 1/2 tons of cocaine at the time of the Oct. 23 seizure by Coast Guard law
enforcement personnel aboard the Harriet Lane.
The Harriet Lane – a 270-foot medium-endurance cutter commissioned in 1984, operates out of Portsmouth in Virginia.
Boarding teams from the cutter deployed in interceptor boats and stopped the suspected smuggling vessel just before midnight,” the Coast Guard said in a news release Thursday.
“The boarding teams took control of the vessel before the four suspected smugglers aboard could sink the craft using installed scuttling valves.”
The exact location of the bust wasn’t disclosed.
“I am really proud of our crew and the precision and professionalism with which they conducted this interdiction,” said Cmdr. Dorothy Hernaez, Commanding Officer of the Harriet Lane, in the statement. . “It was an all hands on deck effort to properly position the cutter and to safely make the seizure."

He might give it a good go, once he finishes cleaning house. Bringing out our troupes who were protecting the fields for the CIA. Could be some interesting happenings in the near future.

You mean more interesting happenings than what we are living through now! We are living in historical times. Thank GOD for our gift of President Trump. He is more than I could have ever imagined after the disaster that was Bush/Obama.

Well, I meant that in the context of the CIA's poppy business over in Afghanistan. We are very fortunate that he got elected. Many things dropping quickly, now. DS almost completely exposed for what puppets they are and who their real masters are. They certainly don't serve the people who elected them to office.
