The exercise, called Noble Manta 09, is NATO's largest anti-submarine warfare exercise that takes place annually, NATO reported.
Turkey, Greece, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States are participating in the exercise as part of an effort to improve communication among the NATO countries and strengthen the coordination of NATO's strategic capabilities.
"The exercise will demonstrate NATO's determination to maintain proficiency and improve interoperability," the release said.
