Souda Bay, Crete, Greece (May 20, 2005) -- Crew members man the rail
aboard USS Taylor (FFG 50) as the Standing NRF Maritime Group Two
(SNMG2) flagship HS (Greek) Themistoklis passes. Taylor is followed by
other NATO nations' units while returning to port after the conclusion
of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) and the Military Committee (MC) SEA
DAY Exercise. The exercise involved vessels from Greece, Turkey, Spain,
Germany, United Kingdom, and the United States that are currently
assigned to Standing NATO Response Force Maritime Group Two
(SNMG2). The event was held to provide an indication of the
capabilities of these permanent naval assets that recently have been
integrated into the NATO Response Force (NRF) and that form the core of
the antiterrorist Operation Active Endeavor. U.S. Navy photo by Paul
