The Turkish Submarine TCG Anafartalar submarine conducts maritime operations in Exercise Dynamic Manta 24.
Ships, submarines, aircraft and thousands of personnel have come together in the Mediterranean Sea for a NATO submarine warfare exercise.
Exercise Dynamic Manta prepares NATO submarine crews to respond and adapt to any type of threat below the surface. It is the largest and most complex submarine exercise in the Mediterranean, which trains, demonstrates and refines Allied capabilities in this particular type of warfare.
As NATO’s most advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) exercise, Dynamic Manta 24 will journey to the heart of naval operations, where state-of-the-art submarines and cutting-edge technologies converge. This demanding exercise takes place concurrently with NATO’s largest exercise, Steadfast Defender, demonstrating the Alliance’s ability to carry out exercises and missions simultaneously across the Euro-Atlantic area.
Anti-submarine warfare is a collaborative endeavour, with each platform contributing its unique capabilities. Dynamic Manta will see commandos leaving submarines underwater. Participating warships will also simulate finding and destroying six enemy submarines.
