For the first time since the Cold War, a U.S. Navy convoy is steaming through the blue-gray Atlantic swell, bringing supplies to the largest U.S. military exercises in Europe for over 25 years.
The U.S. 2nd fleet is conducting convoy operations with the logistics arm of the Navy, known as Military Sealift Command (MSC), according to a Feb. 28 statement from the Navy.
