 USS Newport News arrived at Sudabay, Greece after completing a multinational training exercise in the Ionian Sea. The LA-class submarine is among the most technologically advanced submarines ever built. Newport News is a 688-class submarine. Our ASD capabilities are, we have the ability to launch torpedoes, and to seek and destroy missions if caught upon. We also have advanced sonar systems, the ability to detect modern diesel and nuclear submarines. We also have the ability to perform strike warfare if needed with our Tomahawk missiles. We have a great crew and talent we have on board is the best in the world. I feel confident that whatever mission we're tasked with, we'll be able to perform successfully with first-time success. The annual NATO Exercise Dynamic Manta 2016 involved more than 5,000 sailors from nine NATO nations. The exercise is based on the generic fictitious scenario aimed at demonstrating the alliances and partner nations' solidarity and strength. It's an opportunity for us to exercise and practice real-world scenarios with our NATO partners. Practice actually real-world scenarios that you don't get to see anywhere else. USS Newport News is currently deployed to the U.S.-European Command Area of Responsibility. Pere Officer Anaíra Rodriguez, Sudabay, Crete.
