英国皇家海军的“特伦特”号巡逻舰在加勒比海查获了价值2.04亿英镑的可卡因。

最新的行动是一个重要的里程碑，这艘船在短短五个月内没收的毒品总价值达到了惊人的5.11亿英镑。

此次成功拦截是在对加勒比海一艘可疑船只进行持续搜索之后进行的。

一架美国海上巡逻机向英国皇家海军“特伦特”号发出警报，该舰迅速部署强大的雷达追踪目标。

当英国皇家海军的舰艇靠近时，这些涉嫌走私的人采取了孤注一掷的措施，将成捆的可卡因扔到船外，试图避免被拘留。

尽管采取了规避战术，“特伦特”号的船员还是立即行动起来，进行了一整夜的详尽搜索和恢复行动。

尽管由于黑暗和广阔的海洋造成了障碍，这个坚定的团队还是能够回收超过2.5吨的可卡因。

国防部长格兰特·沙普斯赞扬了“特伦特”号船员为摧毁全球毒品网络所做的不懈努力。



他强调，英国皇家海军坚定不移地致力于确保任何从非法麻醉品中受益的人，无论身在何处，都能受到法律的全面制裁。

英国皇家海军“特伦特”号在打击毒品走私方面的杰出记录远不止于最近的这次缉获。

自2023年12月部署在加勒比海以来，该巡逻舰在逮捕毒品走私者，维护海上安全和捍卫该地区的国际法方面发挥了至关重要的作用。

英国皇家海军“特伦特”号与多国盟友合作，共缴获6390公斤可卡因，进一步瓦解了犯罪网络。

英国皇家海军“特伦特”号的指挥官蒂姆·兰福德(Tim Langford)司令官赞扬了该舰的综合能力、美国海岸警卫队执法分队和47名突击队艇长。

他强调了又一次秘密行动的完美合作，强调了这艘船在拦截贩运者方面取得的非凡成功。

除了在加勒比海取得的成就外，皇家海军还显示了其在打击毒品走私方面的全球影响力。

今年早些时候，在海湾巡逻的英国皇家海军兰开斯特号（HMS Lancaster）缴获了价值3300万英镑的毒品，证明了该舰队在多个战区有效行动的能力。

国防部强调了“特伦特”号在打击全球犯罪组织方面的重要作用。

每次成功拦截，皇家海军都致力于保护社区和打击全球毒品贩运。

The Royal Navy’s patrol ship HMS Trent seized £ 204 million of ***e in the Caribbean Sea.

The latest operation represents a significant milestone, bringing the total value of drugs confiscated by the vessel to a whopping £ 511 million in just five months.

The successful interception came after an ongoing search for a suspicious vessel in the Caribbean Sea.

A US maritime patrol aircraft alerted HMS Trent, which quickly deployed its powerful radars to track down the target.

As the Royal Navy ship approached, the suspected traffickers took desperate measures, throwing bales of ***e overboard in an attempt to avoid detention.

Despite the evasive tactics, the crew of HMS Trent swung into action, conducting an exhaustive search and recovery operation throughout the night.

Despite the hurdles caused by the darkness and the vast length of the sea, the committed team was able to recover more than 2.5 tonnes of ***e.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps praised the crew of HMS Trent for their tireless efforts to destroy global ***s networks.

He highlighted the Royal Navy’s unwavering commitment to ensure that anyone benefiting from illegal ***s faces the full force of law, no matter where they are.

HMS Trent’s outstanding record in combatting drug trafficking goes beyond this most recent bust.

Deployed in the Caribbean Sea since December 2023, the patrol ship has played an essential role in apprehending drug smugglers, preserving maritime security, and defending international law in the region.

HMS Trent, while collaborating with multinational allies, seized a total of 6,390 kg of ***e, further disrupting criminal networks.

HMS Trent’s commanding officer, Commander Tim Langford, commended the ship’s combined capabilities, the aboard US Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment, and the 47 commando coxswains.

He emphasised the perfect collaboration that resulted in another covert takedown, emphasising the ship’s exceptional success in intercepting traffickers.

In addition to its accomplishments in the Caribbean Sea, the Royal Navy has displayed its worldwide reach in combating drug smuggling.

HMS Lancaster, patrolling in the Gulf, recovered £ 33 million worth of drugs earlier this year, demonstrating the fleet’s ability to operate effectively in numerous theatres.

The Ministry of Defence highlighted the significance of HMS Trent’s actions in disrupting criminal organisations worldwide.

With each successful interception, the Royal Navy is committed to protecting communities and tackling drug trafficking worldwide.
