Escanaba returned to Portsmouth, Virginia, after seizing more than 2 million in illegal narcotics
The 'Escanaba (WMEC 907)' returned to its home port in Portsmouth on Sep 28, following a 60-day deployment in the Windward Passage. Operating under U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area and the Coast Guard's Southeast District, the crew had focused on the preservation of life at sea, the deterrence of unlawful maritime migration, and the denial of resources to transnational criminal organizations transiting the Caribbean Sea. On Aug 29, the 'Escanaba', assisted by an embarked law enforcement detachment from the Tactical Law Enforcement Team (TACLET) Pacific, interdicted a vessel carrying approximately 2,082 pounds of marijuana, valued at more than $2.4 million. In addition to the interdiction, the 'Escanaba' coordinated with the Coast Guard Cutter 'Richard Dixon (WPC 1113)' to conduct an at-sea transfer of cocaine, weighing approximately 3,288 kilograms. Escanaba offloaded both illicit drug shipments in Port Everglades, Florida, advancing Coast Guard objectives to combat transnational criminal networks and enhance regional stability. During the patrol, the 'Escanaba' also conducted an underway replenishment with the commercial support vessel 'HSC-Ocean' (operated by the Bordelon Marine as the commercial support vessel 'Connor Bordelon' (IMO: 967062), which provided the cutter with supplies needed to remain on station in the Windward Passage.
