[The Atlantic Community in the Mediterranean. What's geography got to do with geopolitics? As European NATO jets patrol the skies of the U.S. eastern coast and Norwegians fill in for the U.S. in the latter's 'geostrategically' vital waters off the coasts of Italy, Lebanon, Libya and Yugoslavia, U.S. submarines are freed up to "limp back" to Norwegian ports hours after the sinking of the Russian submarine The Kursk. And to prowl the seas off the coasts of Russia, China, India, Iran, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Vietnam, Iraq, Malaysia and a host of other countries.] The Norway Post Friday, 11.1.2002 10. January 2002 Norwegian sub on NATO patrol in the Mediterranean The Norwegian Navy's submarine "KNM Uthaug" with a crew of 22 is leaving Friday to join the NATO fleet on patrol in the eastern Mediterranean. These waters were earlier patrolled by US naval vessels, but these are now released because of the US operations in Afghanistan. NATO has taken over, and has asked Norway to supply a submarine. The submarine is the second Norwegian naval vessel taking part in the patrolling of the Meditarrenaen. The frigate "KNM Narvik" has been a part of the NATO contingent since December.
