On 23 May the North Atlantic Council (NAC) chaired by NATO Secretary General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and the Military Committee chaired by General Ray Henault, accompanied by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General John Craddock, will embark on NATO’s Standing Maritime Group Two (SNMG2) vessels to witness the operational capabilities of the naval force during the NAC-MC Sea Day.

The sea programme will demonstrate the high level of interoperability between NATO naval forces; illustrate the capabilities of NATO’s Standing Maritime Groups and highlight Operation Active Endeavour, NATO’s maritime contribution to the fight against international terrorism.
