GULF OF FINLAND, HELSINKI, Finland – On their first port visit to Finland since the country became the thirty-first member of the Alliance, ships from Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1) received a warm welcome as they arrived in the capital Helsinki.

German Navy flagship FGS Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and the NRP Bartolomeu Dias of the Portuguese Navy, visited Helsinki after first exercising at sea with the Finnish Navy.

The JFK has been consigned to the scrap dealers in 2021, send the Gerald R Ford, the newest.

The carrier was pulled from service earlier than others because when built, protestors forced the navy to use oil to power it.

It was IIRC to be nuke powered originally.
