These dramatic pictures show the moment a Royal Navy crew destroyed a boat smuggling cocaine.
More than 400kg of Class A drugs were seized from the small vessel in the middle of the Caribbean.
It had set off from South America with three crew members and a cargo worth around £24 million on board.
But it was hunted down by HMS Medway, a British patrol ship, after it was spotted off the coast of the Dominican Republic.
After a tense chase, it was boarded and its crew was detained before the vessel was sent to the bottom of the ocean.
