Naval Today:
German Navy’s F124 air-defense frigate FGS Hessen will be joining a US Navy aircraft carrier strike group off the US east coast for joint drills.
Hessen is scheduled to depart her homeport of Wilhelmshaven on January 15 and will be joined by a Norwegian frigate which will also be integrating into a carrier strike group.
The European ships will be training with Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman before they all deploy together to the Mediterranean some five months later.
