佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡——美国海岸警卫队10月16日发布消息说，海岸警卫队巡逻舰「Tampa号」（USCGC Tampa）的船员10月14日在佛罗里达州埃弗格莱兹港（Port Everglades）卸载了约29,600磅可卡因和3,355磅大麻，估值约2.267亿美元。这批毒品是在东太平洋国际水域的6次拦截行动中缴获的。
海岸警卫队说，参与拦截行动的单位包括Tampa号、海岸警卫队太平洋战术执法队第102执法分队（LEDET 102）、海岸警卫队直升机拦截战术中队、南方联合跨部门特遣部队、海岸警卫队西南区以及海军驱逐舰「格里德利号」（USS Gridley）。Tampa号舰长乔舒亚·迪彼得罗（Joshua DiPietro）上校表示，船员共阻止了约32,000磅违禁品抵达美国海岸，拦截了价值逾2.26亿美元的非法毒品，并称这些行动持续扰乱跨国犯罪组织的活动。据其他公开报道，这批拦截行动历时约60天巡逻、共拘留15名涉嫌走私者；海岸警卫队的书面新闻稿未提及被拘留人数。
海岸警卫队大西洋区司令乔-安·伯迪安（Jo-Ann Burdian）中将表示，海岸警卫队持续运用其权限与西半球各地的伙伴关系，削弱跨国犯罪组织危害美国社区的能力，这类成果体现了海岸警卫队控制、保卫国家海上边界与近海通道的承诺。
海岸警卫队说，此次卸载是其在「太平洋毒蛇行动」（Operation Pacific Viper）框架下拦截、缴获并扰乱海上可卡因及其他批量非法毒品转运任务的一部分，行动依据海岸警卫队的《美国法典》第14编执法权限、并得到伙伴国家支持。Tampa号是一艘270英尺长的中型耐力巡逻舰，母港位于弗吉尼亚州朴茨茅斯，隶属海岸警卫队大西洋区司令部。
Coast Guard Cutter Tampa Offloads About $226.7 Million in Drugs at Port Everglades After Six Eastern Pacific Interdictions
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida — The U.S. Coast Guard said on October 16 that the crew of Coast Guard Cutter Tampa offloaded approximately 29,600 pounds of cocaine and 3,355 pounds of marijuana, worth an estimated $226.7 million, on October 14 at Port Everglades, Florida. The contraband was seized in six interdictions in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
The Coast Guard said the assets and crews involved in the interdiction operations were Coast Guard Cutter Tampa, the Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Team – Pacific, LEDET 102, the Coast Guard Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron, Joint Interagency Task Force South, the Coast Guard Southwest District and USS Gridley. "This crew was phenomenal in successfully stopping a combined 32,000 pounds of contraband from reaching American shores," said Capt. Joshua DiPietro, commanding officer of Tampa, adding that the crew intercepted over $226 million in illicit narcotics and continued the disruption of transnational criminal organizations. Other public reports described the seizures as the product of a 60-day patrol in which 15 suspected smugglers were detained; the Coast Guard's written release did not mention the number of detainees.
"The Coast Guard continues to leverage its authorities and partnerships across the Western Hemisphere to degrade Transnational Criminal Organizations' ability to harm American communities," said Vice Adm. Jo-Ann Burdian, commander of Coast Guard Atlantic Area. "Success stories like these highlight our commitment to continuing to control, secure, and defend the nation's maritime borders and approaches."
The Coast Guard said the offload continues its mission, in support of Operation Pacific Viper, to interdict, seize and disrupt the transshipment of cocaine and other bulk illicit drugs at sea, operating under the Coast Guard's Title 14 law enforcement authorities with support from partner nations. Coast Guard Cutter Tampa is a 270-foot medium endurance cutter homeported in Portsmouth, Virginia, under U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command.
