The Royal Navy's air defense destroyer HMS Duncan, Turkish frigate Yildirim and Romanian frigate Regele Ferdinand from the Standing NATO Maritime Group Two, Bulgarian frigate Drazki and Greek fast attack craft Ritsos are some of the vessels involved in the drill, the Bulgarian Navy said in a statement.
