The ships were open to the public on Saturday, January 31st, and Sunday, February 1st, so people may board them. After their visit to Alicante, the ships will go back to their normal operations and are expected to return to their home bases on February 6th.
The MAR-26 exercise is set up to test and improve naval skills in traditional and modern situations, such as protecting against unmanned systems.
