The “Lemnos” frigate, which participated in the well-known “embolism” incident where it caused damage to the Turkish “Kemal Reis”, is currently in Turkey as part of the “Dynamic Mariner 22” NATO exercise. The major NATO naval exercise “Dynamic Mariner” is underway in Turkey. It kicked off on September 11 and is being conducted at the Aksaz naval base.

The exercise involves 12 NATO member-states with 50 surface units, 5 submarines, 5 air units and 1500 personnel.
