Since leaving their home port of Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt on October 23, the Royal Canadian Navy ships assisted the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in the seizure and disruption of approximately 9 800 kg of cocaine in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Central and South America. Cases involved intercepting suspected smuggling vessels and locating floating bales of contraband at sea.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have conducted Operation CARIBBE since November 2006.
