U.S. Coast Guardsmen assigned to the medium endurance cutter USCGC Confidence (WMEC 619) unload more than 2,000 pounds of marijuana from the ship Oct. 7, 2012, at Coast Guard Station Port Canaveral, Fla. The crews of Confidence and the medium endurance cutter USCGC Dauntless (WMEC 624) seized the drugs after intercepting a 30-foot vessel Aug. 17, 2012, in the Caribbean Sea south of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The ships were deployed to the region in support 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.
