Naval forces from nine Allied countries are participating in the annual anti-submarine warfare exercise off the coast of Sicily, Italy. Led by NATO Allied Maritime Command, Dynamic Manta 23 runs from 27 February to 10 March.
Ships, submarines and aircraft from Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States took part in the exercise.
Dynamic Manta 23 provides the opportunity for NATO Allies to combat submarines from the air, surface and under water. During the exercise, surface ships are working with maritime patrol aircraft and submarines in a simulated submarine hunt to locate and neutralise threats.
The maritime domain is of strategic importance for NATO and NATO is determined to help protect its Allies from any possible threats at sea or from the sea.
