France's Normandie frigate participated in large NATO drills in Norway, simulating destruction of a German submarine.

France's Normandie frigate, one of France's most modern warships, participated in large NATO drills in Norway's frigid fjords. These exercises, the biggest since the Cold War, aim to prepare the 32-nation military alliance for potential threats, including trying to catch troops off guard. In a simulation during the drills, the Normandie's crew successfully "destroyed" a German submarine, also a NATO member, that had sneaked into Norwegian waters.
