June 1

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stratton

The Aircraft Carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is in the background.

"On July 18, 2015, Stratton intercepted a semi-submersible loaded with approximately 16,000 pounds of cocaine.
Stratton was able to offload more than 12,000 pounds worth an estimated $181 million before the craft sank."

I'm with Doug. Looking pretty shoddy! Interesting info on the never-ending illegal drug battle.

Very interesting to see the rust. It did a great job stopping the cocaine. V

Not "ship shape" - needs a touch up to get at that rust.

With that heroic accomplishment you'd think that the bean counters would spring for a paint job.

They did a great job amazing amount of Cocaine and the value of $181 million amazing as well.
If that Cocaine made into the states I am sure lives would be lost due to it.
Love this area lots to see when it comes to Military ships.

Well done. Love the impression of this ship. It is clearly on the front lines of the drug interdiction efforts.

That is an achievement. Thanks for the Wikopedia information. The CG should kick in a paint job. V
