Allies Prepare For 'Joint Warrior' In Scotland
The Clyde, the home of Scottish shipbuilding, has been pretty busy recently.
There are currently eight different ships docked in Glasgow from the same number of nations, which together form NATO Standing Maritime Group One.
Crews from as far afield as Spain, Finland, and even Canada were welcomed into King George V dock.
The ships will be playing a key role in Exercise Joint Warrior.
The biannual exercise involves 14 different countries and a total of 31 warships.
The Standing Maritime Groups are a multinational body of ships - allies training together, ready to respond to world events.
Exercise Joint Warrior will see the crews facing real-time scenarios, and so logistics must be spot on.
It will run for the next two weeks in and around the Scottish coast, and the navy crews will cover everything from counter-piracy to mine counter-measures and anti-submarine warfare, keeping them ready for operations around the world.
