A response team of Sailors and Coast Guardsmen from the littoral combat ship USS Freedom (LCS 1) question four suspected drug smugglers after their "go-fast" vessel was intercepted by Freedom in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Freedom seized the vessel and four suspects and recovered one ton of cocaine during counter-illicit trafficking operations in the US 4th Fleet area of responsibility.
