据报道，英国皇家海军军舰“HMS Diamond”在印度洋海域打击毒贩时缴获了超过两吨的非法毒品。

驱逐舰的水手和皇家海军陆战队发现了大量的大麻——2.4吨非法毒品已经被销毁。

在加拿大150联合特遣部队（Combined Task Force 150）的旗帜下开展行动，致力于阻止在中东200多万平方英里的海洋上的犯罪活动。这艘总部位于Portsmuth的军舰在亚丁湾40°C的高温下，迫使一艘可疑的独桅帆船停下来，对该船进行彻底搜索。

今年4月，一直在印度洋海域为巴林特遣部队巡逻的英国皇家海军兰开斯特号护卫舰在24小时内进行了两次袭击，成功缴获了价值3300万英镑的非法毒品。

起初，该船无视驱逐舰的呼叫，当看到驱逐舰的“野猫”直升机在头顶上时，该船停了下来，在单桅帆船上训练了先进的武器。

这导致了9个小时的任务，在此期间，第42突击队的皇家海军陆战队确保了这艘船的安全，允许登上钻石号的皇家海军队员搜查非法货物。

对单桅帆船的深入检查发现了几个包裹，在随后的驱逐舰测试中发现了这些包裹含有非法毒品。

在“钻石”号取得成功之前，CTF150在2024年4月也进行了一次协同行动，英国、美国和印度船只在印度洋上进行了一系列突击搜查，没收并销毁了近5吨毒品。

负责国际部队的加拿大皇家海军军官Colin Matthews上尉提到，HMS Diamond执行的拦截是CMF合作伙伴与CTF 150团队之间富有成效合作的一个重要例子。

经过几天的工作，HMS Diamond的船员和CTF 150工作人员可能会产生影响，通过拦截2382公斤毒品，帮助提高地区人口和海上交通的安全性和稳定性。

英文原文

The Royal Navy warship HMS Diamond has reportedly seized over two tons of illicit drugs as she struck against the traffickers in the waters of the Indian Ocean.

A massive haul of hashish was discovered by the destroyer’s sailors and the Royal Marines — 2.4 tons of illicit ***s that had been destroyed.

Carrying out operations under the Canadian-led Combined Task Force 150 banner — committed to stopping criminal activities across over two million sq. miles of ocean in the Middle East — the Portsmouth-based warship compelled a suspect dhow to stop and search the vessel thoroughly in the 40°C heat in the Gulf of Aden.

It comes through as frigate HMS Lancaster, which has also been patrolling the waters of the Indian Ocean for the Bahrain task force, struck twice within 24 hours in April, successfully seizing £33 million of unlawful drugs in the mission.

Having ignored calls initially from the ship to the stop, the craft was paused as the destroyer’s Wildcat helicopter was seen overhead alongside seaboats, with advanced weapons trained on the dhow.

That resulted in a nine-hour mission, during which the Royal Marines from the 42 Commando secured the vessel to permit the boarding team members of the Diamond’s Royal Navy to search for unlawful cargo.

An in-depth scrutiny of the dhow recovered several packages — found to be having unlawful ***s on subsequent testing on the destroyer.

HMS Diamond’s success also follows a concerted operation in April 2024 by CTF150, which resulted in a series of busts across the Indian Ocean by British, US, and Indian vessels, with almost 5 tons of drugs confiscated and destroyed.

Capt. Colin Matthews, the officer associated with the Royal Canadian Navy who is in charge of the international force, mentioned that the interdiction carried out by the HMS Diamond is a crucial example of the fruitful collaboration between the CMF partners and the CTF 150 team.

After a couple of days of working, HMS Diamond’s crew members and the CTF 150 staff could have an impact, helping increase the safety and stability of regional populations and maritime traffic by interdicting 2382 kgs of ***s.
