9月27日,美國海岸警衛隊的一艘快艇在阿曼灣巡邏時,從一艘漁船上繳獲了價值約8,500萬美元的海洛因,這是今年國際海軍部隊在中東地區截獲的最大規模非法毒品行動。
在支援聯合特遣部隊(CTF)150的行動中,USCGC Charles Moulthrope (WPC 1141)在這艘漁船經過國際水域時繳獲2,410公斤海洛因。CTF150是世界上最大的多國海軍伙伴關系——聯合海上部隊(CMF)的四個特遣部隊之一。
沙特皇家海軍于7月在巴林麥納麥舉行的儀式上接掌了CTF 150的指揮權。

Charles Moulthrope于2021年5月開始在中東開始運營。其近30名海岸警衛隊船員包括該船的24名船主,他們是2021年1月該船服役時的原始船員。
CMF由34個成員國組成,這些國家的部隊在紅海、亞丁灣、阿拉伯海北部、阿曼灣、阿拉伯灣和印度洋執行任務。

A U.S. Coast Guard fast response cutter seized an estimated $85 million worth of *** from a fishing vessel while patrolling the Gulf of Oman, Sept. 27, representing the largest illegal drug interdiction in the Middle East by international naval forces this year.
While operating in support of Combined Task Force (CTF) 150, USCGC Charles Moulthrope (WPC 1141) seized 2,410 kilograms of *** as the fishing vessel transited international waters. CTF 150 is one of four task forces under the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), the world’s largest multinational naval partnership.
The Royal Saudi Navy assumed command of CTF 150 in July during a ceremony in Manama, Bahrain, where the task force is headquartered.
“This sizable seizure demonstrates a profound commitment among our international partners to disrupting and deterring destabilizing activity in the region,” said Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet and CMF. “I am proud of the flawless efforts by CMF, the Saudi-led CTF 150 team and the Charles Moulthrope crew.”
Charles Moulthrope began operating in the Middle East in May 2021. Its crew of nearly 30 Coast Guardsmen includes the ship’s 24 plankowners who were the original crewmembers when the ship commissioned in January 2021.
CMF consists of 34 member-nations whose forces operate in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Northern Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean.
