USS Curts Offloads Largest Drug Seizure in History
KEY WEST, Fla. (NNS) -- USS Curts (FFG 38) offloaded and turned over to authorities 75,000 pounds of cocaine Nov. 5 in Key West, Fla.
The multi-ton shipment, valued at more than $2.3 billion, is the result of five drug interdiction operations conducted in the Eastern Pacific between
Aug. 31 and Sept. 26.
Curts directly supported three of the interdictions, totaling more than 44,000 pounds. One of Curts interdictions, conducted Sept. 17, yielded 30,000
pounds, the largest seizure in the history of counter-drug operations.

$2.3 billion! That is astounding. The story has good things to say about inter-agency cooperation, too.
