Royal Navy's First Narco-Submarine Interception Seizes £160 Million in Cocaine
Sep 12, 2024, 12:04 PM
The Royal Navy has successfully intercepted a narco-submarine for the first time. On August 26, HMS Trent, in collaboration with the United States Coast Guard, boarded a semi-submersible vessel in the Caribbean Sea, which was carrying 1,200 pounds of cocaine. The narcotics have an estimated street value of £160 million. This operation marks a significant milestone in the Royal Navy's efforts to combat drug trafficking. A photo shows Royal Marines from a Royal Navy patrol ship interdicting the narco-submarine, demonstrating how hard these vessels are to see.
