their homeport in Mayport Fla., after completing a six-month
deployment. During the deployment Hall conducted two at-sea
interdictions resulting in the seizure of over six metric tons of
contraband. Hall also completed the first Airborne Use of Force from a
Navy helicopter while interdicting a stateless go fast vessel resulting
in the seizure of about 1.5 metric tons of contraband. Hall also
completed the first-ever joint boarding at sea with the Ecuadorian Navy
