Several NATO countries, including Canada, are currently participating in an anti-submarine warfare exercise in the North Atlantic. “Exercise Dynamic Mongoose will ensure crews are prepared to respond to threats posed by sub-surface forces and demonstrate the Alliance stands ready to defend all Allies,” NATO said in a statement. Normally the exercise takes place off the coast of Norway, but is this year hosted by Iceland. In this year’s event, the participating nations will practice “hunting and being hunted” during the 11-day exercise, NATO said. A news release from the government of Iceland said 15 vessels, “several submarines,” and maritime patrol aircraft were involved in the exercise.
