After 2 months patrolling the waters of the Baltic Sea, the Aquitaine is back in Brest, a large military port in western France. The Aquitaine is what is called a Fremm, a French multi-function frigate. Why the Baltic? Just look at a map, all the coastal countries are now members of NATO, except one, Russia. We are talking about a mission to reassure the alliance, in other words to strengthen military forces, here with 150 sailors deployed. (Rebroadcast)
