NATO’s annual Anti-Submarine warfare exercise kicks off in Italy
NATO has kicked off its annual Dynamic Manta anti-submarine warfare exercise off the Sicilian coast in Italy.
Ships, jets, submarines, and military personnel from nine allied countries including Canada, Greece, France, Spain, and Italy assembled in the Central Mediterranean Sea for the military training that began on February 21.
The exercise provides the participating nations with complex and challenging combat training to increase their proficiency and interoperability in anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare.
It is one of the two major anti-submarine warfare exercises scheduled every year in the European country and is led by the NATO Maritime Command.
