On November 12, the French Navy intercepted a "narco-sub"—a stateless semi-submersible vessel carrying at least 321 pounds of cocaine—in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the first time French forces have ever seized this type of drug-smuggling craft. The high-seas operation was a collaborative effort involving a French frigate, its onboard helicopter, and a U.S. maritime patrol aircraft operating under the U.S. Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S), with the interception carried out in accordance with international maritime and anti-narcotics laws.
