Mediterranean Sea (Oct. 17, 2003) -- The guided missile frigate USS Nicholas (FFG 47) and a helicopter from the Spanish frigate SPS Navarra (F-85) track a simulated cargo vessel, thought to be transporting weapons of mass destruction during a training exercise in the Mediterranean Sea.  The four day Spanish led phase is the third of ten phases in which armed forces from eleven nations participate in multinational Maritime Interdiction Operation (MIO) training exercises tracking, boarding and seizing suspect vessels transporting weapons of mass destruction on the high seas.  U.S. Navy photo by Lt.
