U.S. Coast Guardsmen assigned to the medium endurance cutter USCGC Valiant examine one of 43 bales of contraband seized from a go-fast boat May 31, 2012, in the Caribbean Sea. The boat's five crew members were arrested after the material tested positive for cocaine with a wholesale value of $32.5 million. Valiant conducted the mission as part of Operation Martillo, a joint, interagency and multinational collaborative effort to deny transnational criminal organizations air and maritime access to the littoral regions of the Central American isthmus.
