(Business Insider) --- A total of 55
ships from 14 NATO countries are participating in a massive naval exercise off
the coast of
The UK-led Exercise
Joint Warrior 15-1 started on April 11 and will run until April 24. The
exercise features 55 ships, 70 aircraft and approximately 13,000 military
personnel from 14 participating NATO countries.
To visualize the
scope and size of the exercise, CI Geography and Bosphorus Naval News have
released the following graphic of the ships taking part in the exercise.
Joint Warrior is
the largest single military exercise in Europe
and is intended to foster greater military cooperation amongst NATO
allies.
The exercises are
meant to provide the NATO countries with the training and experience
necessary for scenarios such as small-boat attacks, antisubmarine warfare, and
maneuverability exercises — all of which have become a lot more urgent for
regional militaries in light of the past year's spate of Russian naval and air
incursions into NATO territory.
