"It will allow us to exercise our anti-submarine warfare capabilities in a complex and challenging environment," said Rear Admiral Brad Williamson, Commander of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2.

The submarines will take turns trying to approach and target the ships undetected, simulating an attack.

"The presence of NATO in Norwegian waters will enhance interoperability and will allow NATO to familiarize with Norwegian waters," said Commodore Ole Morten Sandquist, Commander of the Norwegian fleet.
