The interception of the blue narco-sub was conducted alongside US Coast Guard personnel. The boarding team, which included ********* Coast Guard personnel, specialist sailors, and Royal Marine commandos, “clambered aboard the semi-submersed vessel in waters 190 nautical miles south of the Dominican Republic,” the Royal Navy said.

It’s the eighth ***** bust completed by the Trent within seven months, making it “the best hunter of smugglers in the Royal Navy this century,” the British sea service said.

This particular bust took place on August 26, just 72 hours after a previous interdiction. Per the Royal Navy, the Trent and its crew have now seized over 20,000 pounds in ******** narcotics worth almost $1 billion. This bust alone was over 4,000 pounds.

“It has been a busy yet rewarding eight months for Trent whilst deployed to the Caribbean, and this latest seizure reinforces the utility of Royal Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessels in the delivery of this vital tasking,” said Commander Tim Langford, HMS Trent’s commanding officer.

He added that his team, along with their embarked USCG Law Enforcement Detachment, “fought challenging conditions to interdict this semi-submersible — rarely seen in the Caribbean — and were rewarded with another record haul.”

After the Royal Navy and US Coast Guard retrieved the drugs, they brought them aboard for inspection.
