A few weeks ago, two ships of the Spanish Navy joined NATO's Permanent Naval Group No. 1 (SNMG-1).<\/p>\n
These ships are the frigate \"Almirante Juan de Borb\u00f3n\" F-102 and the Combat Supply Ship (BAC) \"Cantabria\" A-15<\/strong>, both based at the Ferrol Arsenal. The integration of these ships into this naval group is expected to last until the month of July. The SNMG-1 has been under the command of Spanish Rear Admiral Joaqu\u00edn Ruiz Escagedo since January 11.<\/a> This group's scope of action is the waters of northern Europe<\/strong>, which in winter offer much harsher weather conditions than those encountered by the SNMG-2, which operates in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n Proof of this is this video published by SNMG-1 on January 20, in which we see the F-102 SH-60 Seahawk helicopter on a day with big waves: \"Well, nothing, it seems like it was a good morning,\"<\/em><\/strong> says a masculine voice over the public address system ironically, while the waves. \"Oh my mother!\", exclaims a female voice from among the crew<\/strong>, watching as the waves reach the helicopter.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf0a Smooth seas do not make good sailors \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 #WeAreNATO<\/a> #StrongerTogether<\/a> #DeterrenceThroughReadiness<\/a>#BalticGuardian<\/a> #StandingMaritimeGroupOne<\/a> #snmg1<\/a> #NATO<\/a> #UnitedWeStand<\/a> #AlwaysOnGuard<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4xLLcnV2LI<\/a><\/p>\n — COM SNMG1 (@COM_SNMG1) January 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
