01/04/14

Meeting at sea the 28 March south of Rota (Spain) for the 30 Naval Group of the Italian Navy sailing towards Algiers and the aircraft carrier Juan Carlos I of the Armada Española.

The meeting is part of a project that sees some marinas operating in the Mediterranean such as Spain, UK, USA and France, conduct joint training activities in take-off and vertical assembly operations in small spaces, with aircraft AV8B STOVL (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing).

Activities were carried out with on-board helicopters and fast rope operations (rapid descent rope) with staff from the San Marco marine brigade and the corresponding Infanteria de Marina.
