    Re: US Military Pictures thread

    How about some USCG pix??



    A crew preparing to dock the Coast Guard cutter Petrel at a base in San Diego in late June. As the land border with Mexico tightens, authorities are seeing an increasing number of people and drugs moving into the United States by sea off the San Diego coast.
    Photo: Sandy Huffaker for The New York Times


    The monitoring of the seas falls mainly to the Coast Guard and the Customs and Border Protection division of the Department of Homeland Security. Cutters like the Petrel, aircraft and a few small high-speed boats are used for patrols. The authorities have noted that an increase in maritime drug seizures coincides with the near completion of new border fencing and other equipment along a 14-mile stretch from the ocean inland.
    Photo: Sandy Huffaker for The New York Times


    An armed guardsman stood guard as the Petrel approached a suspicious boat. In the fiscal year that ended Oct. 30, the authorities arrested 136 illegal immigrants sneaking in by sea, double the 66 marine arrests in 2007. The seizure of drugs has also similarly increased.
    Photo: Sandy Huffaker for The New York Times


    Jessica Galli, a coast guardswoman, helped to guide a speed boat onto the Petrel. The speed boat was used for an inspection of a boat for contraband. Authorities say that the shift to smuggling on the sea demonstrates the resolve of smugglers to exploit the vastness of the sea, the difficulty in monitoring it and the desperation of migrants willing to risk crossing it.
    Photo: Sandy Huffaker for The New York Times


    Chris Salerno, a cadet, in the Petrel's control room. Crew members say that despite the equipment on hand to detect smugglers, criminals also have access to similar technology. The Homeland Security Department has responded to the increased activity at sea with orders for more boats and equipment.

    Crew members on the Petrel prepared after they received word of a suspicious boat.
