The Monterey and the USS Thomas Hudner, a Navy destroyer, participated in Sea Shield 2021, a multinational naval exercise hosted by Romania. They trained alongside naval forces from several countries in the region, including Albania, Bulgaria and Croatia. Along with learning how to fight together even if the participants don’t speak the same language, they practiced anti-submarine warfare and countering sea mines, among other drills.
“Displaying our commitment to allies has always been and always will be a major mission in the 6th Fleet,” Capt. Baggett said.
The 6th Fleet, based in Naples, Italy, is responsible for conducting U.S. naval operations in Europe and Africa.
