During a recent replenishment at sea off the coast of Somalia, Sea King helicopters from EU NAVFOR’s flag ship, ESPS Galicia, and a Merlin helicopter from UK supply vessel, RFA Fort Victoria, took the opportunity to carry out air coordination training.
The training included communication exercises and flying in close formation. Training such as this enables aviation teams from different nations and task forces to work together and strengthen cooperation at sea.
ESPS Galicia has been deployed with EU NAVFOR since February 2017. She will commence her return home to her base port of Rota in Spain at the end of July this year.
