The German Navy replenishment tanker FGS Spessart (A 1442), sails past the Statue of Liberty while taking part in a "Parade of Ships." Spessart is currently taking part in NATO Standing Naval Force Atlantic (SNFL) 2004 exercises. SNFL is a permanent peacetime multinational naval squadron composed of destroyers and frigates from the navies of various NATO nations. The exercises are designed to test readiness, improve communication and diplomacy between member countries and promote interoperability between navies.
