The illicit drug haul came from 11 interceptions of suspected drug smuggling vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

The U.S. Coast Guard in San Diego said on Thursday that it offloaded more than 37,000 pounds of cocaine from nearly a dozen smuggling interdictions from December through February worth $275 million.

Waesche was commissioned in 2010, the second ship in the Legend Class, the Coast Guard's largest offshore maritime cutters at 418 feet long. It can hold a crew of nearly 150 and is used for maritime fisheries patrols, migrant and drug interdiction, search-and-rescue operations, and law enforcement.
