Two British Naval vessels have sailed from Simon’s Town for a four day training period with a South African Navy submarine.
With the rugged South African coastline providing the background, the frigate HMS Lancaster and Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel RFA Gold Rover sailed with Type 209 Diesel Electric submarine Queen Modjadji.
The two British ships then pitted their wits against the submarines in a series of intermediate and advanced anti submarine serials.
Throughout the exercise Lancaster’s Wildcat Helicopter “Voodoo” maintained an eye in the sky helping the surface vessels locate their elusive underwater foe and then simulate the dropping of stingray torpedoes onto the submarine’s location.
