 My name is Mark Gordon. I am the captain of the US Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton. Today we offloaded, I believe, about 5,200 kilograms of cocaine, a little bit of marijuana, and sent eight suspected smugglers off to our justice system. We've been on a patrol for 67 days. Most of the drugs were interdicted by Hamilton from an alert interdiction, a Coast Guard Cutter Alert, and Coast Guard Cutter Venturist as well. We're using this new national security cutter better than we've been able to use assets in the past. During this patrol we had interdictions where we would simultaneously target multiple GOFASTS, really highlighting the capability of the national security cutter to engage multiple targets simultaneously and then prosecute them. Well today really is the culmination of the cruise effort. From my perspective, this is about the cruise efforts over the past almost 70 days of waking in the middle of the night, staying up for days on end, sending teams out into darkness and rough conditions, and really the time away from their families and the time they spend on the seas, really this is the finish line. This is what many of them joined the Coast Guard for and why they do what they do, and they do it without complaints, and they do it without rest, and they just keep dedicating themselves to this service and this cutter, and really what seeing the contraband leave the ship today really brings this all to a full circle.
