The operation was preceded by a meeting on board the unit, attended by the mayor of La Maddalena, Angelo Comiti, accompanied by a technical staff of the municipality, the commander of the unit and his staff of specialists, and the military authority of garrison and commander of Mariscuola La Maddalena. The meeting served to define exactly the modalities of the Rimini ship contribution, preliminary to a subsequent careful monitoring of the state of the waters in front of the former arsenal.
