Hellenic Navy really close

[stamatisg2002]

Hello folks! I know I was missing from the forum for a few days, but I had some upside downs in my life. I went for a business trip last week in Patra and at the port were some NATO ships for an exercise. I took the chance to take some photos of a Greek frigate that it was moored at the open to the public pier.

For now I submit only one photo, as I did't have time to process the others.



Cheers!!!

This is obviously NOT the Viagra plant!

That looks like a NATO Sea Sparrow surface to air quad launcher and an Italian made 76mm gun. Cool shot.

Indeed it is Glenn! More specifically it's the upgraded F-459 Adrias.

Good shots, I can't tell what the crane is doing maybe adding fuel through that long hose with what looks like a lock valve on the end.! But it must be adding it to a different ship, possibly a sub???
Do you think you can clarify???

Patra hasn't a military port, so I can only imagine that is either a fueling hose, or a tanker connection for load/unload liquids...
