(BRUSSELS2) The Swedish ship HMS Carlskrona is back in the EU's anti-piracy operation, after a stopover of almost a month in Djibouti. After being the flagship of the "EUNavfor Atalanta" operation, the Carlskrona returns as a patrol ship, we learn from a Swedish source. The refueling was carried out and, above all, a renewal of the crew took place. The Swedes practice, in fact, this relief which has the advantage of avoiding the (long) return to Sweden. During this stopover, the new crew trained, particularly in combat and the ship's armament systems.
