In recent days, the Chief of Defense Staff Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone visited Nave Bergamini of the Navy.
Ship Bergamini has just resumed browsing as Flag Ship operation Noble Shield, guaranteeing the continuity of presence and action of the standing NATO maritime group 2 (SNMG2), permanent task group of the Atlantic Alliance which has the aim of maintaining and developing the defense and deterrence capabilities of the Alliance in the Mediterranean basin, monitoring the maritime spaces of interest to NATO.
Admiral Cavo Dragone wanted to demonstrate the attention and closeness of the leaders of the Defense to the women and men of the frigate's crew, who with their work make it possible to implement the maritime security strategies that the Allied countries have put in place field as responses to the growing instability resulting from the geopolitical upheavals of recent years.
Le standing naval forces, of which SNMG2 is part, represent a tool of fundamental importance within the Atlantic Alliance, accelerating the processes of development of the interoperability of the allied maritime forces through the intense training activities that are carried out at sea during deployments, and at the same time allowing the Alliance to be able to express its own naval diplomacy, a characteristic and distinctive element of the maritime forces.
