 Patrol Squadron 45 flew one of their P-8 Poseidon Patrol aircraft north to Denmark to participate in the multinational maritime exercise, Northern Coast 16. The P-8 brings improved speed, sonar buoy capacity and software for conducting anti-submarine operations to the Europe Africa Theater. It helps us to get to know the accents and the techniques and tactics of the NATO forces. I don't get to train with NATO very often back home, so being out here and you calm and flying with those guys and working right alongside them is actually, I mean that's great. It helps us, helps them. It's good all around. With 14 countries involved, Northern Coast 16 provides the perfect opportunity for the P-8 crews to showcase their capabilities and strengthen interoperability between land, air and sea forces from regional partner nations. This is the first time a P-8 in any squadron has ever got to come up here and do this. It's definitely a lot different environment as far as shallow water, there's a lot of surface traffic, working cross queuing with other nations, using multiple assets to prosecute a sub. It's definitely a learning experience which is pretty good for us. This exercise has been conducted every year since 2007. From the skies above the Baltic Sea, I'm Petty Officer Kelby Sanders.
