A lone South African submarine has left the NATO Maritime Group red faced when it "won" against a fleet of NATO and South African ships in an exercise. The exercise between NATO and South Africa took place off the Cape Coast.
The SAS Manthatisi was pursued using sonar and radar but successfully eluded and destroyed all "enemy" ships.
"To be able to frustrate detection by NATO nations is no mean achievement; it speaks of the excellence of the equipment we required for this purpose." said Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota. These exercises will continue throughout the week.
