The transfer of the four MK-Vs from the USA was completed on Monday, April 6, 2020 at the Salamis Naval Base, where they will remain for the execution of the required inspections, maintenance and repair works in the context of their activation.
The visit was also attended by the US Secretary of Defense in Greece, Captain Timothy N. Ketter, and the representative of the US Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) in Greece, Admiral Anthony Garner.
These SOCs acquired through the US Excess Defense Articles (EDA) programs are considered to significantly enhance the operational capabilities of the DYK.
