TO CLEAR UP A MISCONCEPTION

For those who are outraged at the Navy for this action you can rest easy...the Navy didn't make the bust. In fact, it would have been illegal for the U.S. Navy to make the bust.

Once the suspect vessel was detected, operational control of the ship was turned over to the senior member of the Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment; in this case LTJG McCann. At that point the ship was operating under the control and jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard. Once the bust was completed operational control of the ship was returned to the U.S. Navy.

I always loved LEDET cruises and the Navy crews enjoy them as well...a great use of available resources. The only folks I ever met who didn't much like the arrangement were the dopers.
