The Turkish (diesel-electric) submarine Type 209, "TCG 18 MART"
took part in exercises with US Naval ships in the Med. April 15th as part of anti-terrorist operation "Active Endeavour"
The US is keen to step up the inter-use of regular submarines in the war against terroism at sea.In this instance the US also used an ASW P-3C Orion plane to coordunate with the Turkish vessel.
Further details were not given but by estimating the P-3C range it is thought that the exercise would have been somewhere off the Libyan coast.
