NATO stages naval exercise in the Mediterranean

NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow together with ambassadors, commanders and other representatives from the Alliance and NATO’s Military Committee observed Allied naval forces in action in the Mediterranean Sea on Monday.

A large fleet of warships from NATO’s Response Force (NRF) are currently conducting manoeuvres as part of the “Brilliant Marine” exercise off Italy’s Sicilian and Sardinian coasts, said a NATO press release tonight.

“This exercise tests, and sharpens, the ability of units from different NATO countries to work together seamlessly,” said Vershbow.
