USCGC Charles Moulthrope arrives at Naval Station Rota, Spain. After a two-week transit across the Atlantic Ocean, the cutter arrived in-port to resupply.
The Navy League’s on-line magazine, Seapower, reports,
A U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter seized an estimated $29 million worth of illicit narcotics from a fishing vessel while patrolling the Gulf of Oman, Oct. 12, two weeks after another sizable interdiction, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command Public Affairs said in an Oct. 13 release.
This is getting to be routine. The same ship seized a fishing vessel on Sept 27 with $85M in illegal drugs, presumably the “sizable interdiction” referred to above, and USCGC Glen Harris (WPC 1144) , an another PATFORSWA cutter, has already made three drug interdictions.
Looks like Glenn Harris got a forth seizure. https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/u-s-coast-guard-cutter-seizes-48m-worth-of-drugs-in-gulf-of-oman?fbclid=IwAR0pbaDrztD2h7RTaHPSrO_x0bkUvCwqNbo2q_62ZT2YjIsPGewjJycaeMg
