A team of US custom officers and crew from the Royal Navy’s Type 23 Frigate HMS Iron Duke seized over three-quarters of a ton of cocaine.
The ship first sent its Lynx helicopter to investigate the suspicious vessel and then deployed a boarding party for the seizure of cocaine. The boat was then destroyed after being identified as a hazard to local shipping.
The Iron Duke made a similar seizure valued at £40m last year while on patrol in the West Indies.
