One of the ships that have been deployed to that area for this exercise is the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) of the United States Navy<\/strong>, which on June 12 it arrived at the Danish port of Skagen<\/a>, the northernmost town of the Jutland peninsula and a strategic point at the access from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea. In that port, the USS Wasp received a delegation from the Royal Danish Navy on board<\/strong>. Here we see the Danish sailors next to an AV-8B(R) Harrier II Plus fighter of VMM-365 \"Blue Knights\" of the US Marines, 166288 (55), at a photo published by the US Navy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few days later, the USS Wasp had a visit from Spanish Harrier II fighters. Today, Tokkotai has published this video<\/a> in which we see one of the EAV fighters -8B+ Harrier II Plus of the 9th Squadron of the Spanish Navy, the VA.1B-38 (01-926), taking off from the flight deck of the American ship<\/strong>, some images recorded this Monday:<\/p>\n
