Meanwhile, the Spanish Navy frigate Victoria (F82) has conducted several maneuvers west of the Algerian city. In the same area, a USN Boeing P-8A from NAS Sigonella has also arrived.
It was not possible to monitor all phases of the Poseidon’s mission because the last part was not tracked, but it most likely flew over the area where the Spanish frigate operated late in the morning.
