 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Tyrell Morris. USS Vandergrift teamed up with the US Coast Guard to intercept nearly 875 pounds of cocaine, being smuggled aboard a fishing vessel recently. Vandergrift is currently deployed in support of Operation Martillo to the US Fourth Fleet and was on patrol in the waters off the coast of Central America. This seizure marks Vandergrift's fourth successful smuggling interception in recent months, disrupting more than 5,800 pounds of cocaine. Operation Martillo is a joint effort between the US and partner nations to target illicit trafficking in the waters off Central America.
