Navy ship in Caribbean drug bust
Over a tonne of cocaine has been seized by Royal Navy support ship Wave Knight and the US Coast Guard.
The crew of Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) vessel Wave Knight have assisted with an international counter-narcotics operation in the Caribbean, seizing an illicit cargo of cocaine with a UK wholesale value of over £60 million.
The international operation involved a US Coast Guard patrol aircraft, Wave Knight and a US Coast Guard helicopter, who together forced a speedboat to stop in international waters south of the Dominican Republic.
