The Egyptian frigate “Taba” and the French frigate Languedoc took part in the training.
The training comprised naval tactics and strategy, including specific drills on combat formation, which aim to improve the decision-making skills of commanders, test the combat capabilities of each ship, and gauge operational compatibility between the two forces.
