Description:

This mission will demand calm under pressure and nerves of steel. Put yourself in the shoes of the sailors of Operation Aspides.

For several months the European coalition has been conducting Operation APSIDES, a naval effort to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb, a stretch now threatened by the Houthi forces, reportedly supported by Iran.

Recent attacks on merchant shipping — aerial drones, anti-ship missiles and fast attack craft — have disrupted global shipping. Alsace has been ordered to join the protected corridor off Al Hudaydah to escort the SS Jervis Bay, a British-flagged container ship bound for Djibouti carrying humanitarian and strategic cargo.
