British ship on the hunt for drug smugglers
HMS Trent has been deployed to hunt drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea.
HMS Trent usually operates in the Mediterranean and off Africa’s west coast as part of a long-term security mission, but is heading for the Caribbean to clamp down on drugs runners, according to the Royal Navy here.
The patrol ship arrives in the region to replace destroyer HMS Dauntless, which seized more than £200m worth of cocaine during a highly fruitful hurricane season deployment.
“Fellow River-class Batch 2 HMS Medway usually patrols the Caribbean but has been in the South Atlantic – operating around the Falkland Islands – while sister ship HMS Forth underwent extensive maintenance. With Forth now back in her regular stomping ground, it has freed Medway up to get some much-needed maintenance herself and paved the way for Trent to head to the Caribbean.

Sir Humphrey
HMS TRENT has visited Guyana. This is a textbook example of 'gunboat diplomacy'.
