the smugglers, and battled the fire for several hours until they extinguished the flames during the mid watch. The ship's damage control sailors, reinforced by Coast Guard law enforcement agents, boarded Dos Continentes and recovered several packages containing 150 pounds of cocaine from the hulk. Doyle prevented an estimated 13 tons of cocaine from entering the United States during this interception, and the U.S. later sank the vessel to prevent her from becoming a hazard to navigation. The frigate made a total of five interdictions during her deployment that led to the apprehension of 28 narco-terrorists, and the seizure or destruction of an estimated $315 million worth of cocaine (83 bales during the first month alone). On 6 October 2005, Doyle returned from a six-month deployment. On 6 December 2010, Doyle, her embarked SH-60B Seahawk from HSL-42, Proud Warrior 423, and her embarked Coast Guard Law Enforcement detachment, intercepted smuggling vessel Rio Tuira and seized 22 bales of cocaine, weighing approximately and with an estimated street value of $15.4 million, in the Eastern Pacific about 180 miles from Panama. On 5 April 2011, Doyle returned from her final deployment, a six-month deployment to the United States Southern Command. Fate Doyle was decommissioned at Naval Station Mayport on 29 July 2011 after completing 27 years of service. On 23 June 2018 ex-Doyle was towed to Southern Recycling, part of EMR, for dismantling.
