The Singapore and Indian navies concluded a five-day bilateral exercise on Aug 1 that involved ships from both navies and aircraft from the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).
The Singapore-India Maritime Bilateral Exercise (Simbex) was conducted ashore at the RSS Singapura - Changi Naval Base and at sea in the southern reaches of the South China Sea, the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said on Aug 2.
This was the 32nd edition of Simbex, which was first held in 1994. Mindef noted that the exercise took place at a significant moment, as Singapore and India mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
The exercise saw the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) deploy a Formidable-class frigate, RSS Supreme, and a Victory-class missile corvette, RSS Vigilance, supported by cargo ship MV Mentor.
