9月27日,美国海岸警卫队的一艘快艇在阿曼湾巡逻时,从一艘渔船上缴获了价值约8,500万美元的海洛因,这是今年国际海军部队在中东地区截获的最大规模非法毒品行动。
在支援联合特遣部队(CTF)150的行动中,USCGC Charles Moulthrope (WPC 1141)在这艘渔船经过国际水域时缴获2,410公斤海洛因。CTF150是世界上最大的多国海军伙伴关系——联合海上部队(CMF)的四个特遣部队之一。
沙特皇家海军于7月在巴林麦纳麦举行的仪式上接掌了CTF 150的指挥权。
美国海军中央司令部、美国第五舰队和CMF的指挥官布拉德·库珀(Brad Cooper)副上将说:“这次大规模的扣押表明,我们的国际合作伙伴坚定致力于破坏和阻止该地区的不稳定活动。”。“我为CMF、沙特领导的CTF 150团队和Charles Moulthrope团队的完美努力感到骄傲。”

Charles Moulthrope于2021年5月开始在中东开始运营。其近30名海岸警卫队船员包括该船的24名船主,他们是2021年1月该船服役时的原始船员。
CMF由34个成员国组成,这些国家的部队在红海、亚丁湾、阿拉伯海北部、阿曼湾、阿拉伯湾和印度洋执行任务。

A U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter seized an estimated $85 million worth of *** from a fishing vessel while patrolling the Gulf of Oman, Sept. 27, representing the largest illegal drug interdiction in the Middle East by international naval forces this year.
While operating in support of Combined Task Force (CTF) 150, USCGC Charles Moulthrope (WPC 1141) seized 2,410 kilograms of *** as the fishing vessel transited international waters. CTF 150 is one of four task forces under the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), the world’s largest multinational naval partnership.
The Royal Saudi Navy assumed command of CTF 150 in July during a ceremony in Manama, Bahrain, where the task force is headquartered.
“This sizable seizure demonstrates a profound commitment among our international partners to disrupting and deterring destabilizing activity in the region,” said Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and CMF. “I am proud of the flawless efforts by CMF, the Saudi-led CTF 150 team and the Charles Moulthrope crew.”
Charles Moulthrope began operating in the Middle East in May 2021. Its crew of nearly 30 Coast Guardsmen includes the ship’s 24 plankowners who were the original crewmembers when the ship commissioned in January 2021.
CMF consists of 34 member-nations whose forces operate in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Northern Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean.
