One year after Able Seaman Kieron Simon went missing at sea, the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard (TTCG) formally honoured his life and service.
Simon disappeared during a joint operation to intercept a semi-submersible vessel reportedly carrying a large quantity of drugs bound for Trinidad and Tobago. Officers detained three Spanish-speaking men during the exercise. The vessel was later deliberately sunk and went down with its cargo. Simon is believed to have gone down with it. His body was never recovered.
