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.
A U.S. P-8 Poseidon patrol plane and a mobile Italian maritime traffic control center as well as staff officers from Poland also participate in the exercise, along with representatives of 21 Bulgarian agencies, local authorities and NGOs, the statement said.
