HMAS STUART, (CMDR D. Greaves, RAN), assisted in the interception and boarding of the North Korean freighter MV PONG SU. STUART carried SAS Troops, who fast roped onto the vessel from a RAN helicopter, and seized the vessel. PONG SU was found to be carrying a large quantity of illegal drugs, and was then escorted into Sydney by STUART.
