40 ships. 60 aircraft. 18 nations. Hampton Roads amphibious group tests NATO’s ability to operate in close quarters
DailyPress.com (Hampton Roads, Va), Jul 27 2021

The leaders of a group of 15 Hampton Roads-based Navy ships are set to command even larger formations in line with the Navy’s latest thinking on how sailors and Marines should work together, and did so in an annual NATO exercise in the Baltic Sea. The exercise was part of this year’s multinational Baltic Operations (BALTOPS). That exercise involving Expeditionary Strike Group 2, known as ESG-2, was meant to test NATO’s ability to operate in the close quarters of those waters. The strike group’s commanding officer, Rear-Adm Robert Katz, directed 40 ships, 60 aircraft and 4k personnel from 18 nations.
