RCN Personnel to serve on Spanish AOR

According to defensa.com 28 members of the Royal Canadian Navy will serve on the Spanish AOR the Cantabria during JOINTEX-15.

This is the same AOR the RCN is looking to lease to help fulfil the Navies supply gap neededs on the East coast next year. Defensa.com reports that the Spanish Navy will lease the Cantabria to the RCN in 2016; just as it did for the Australian Navy in 2013.

However, according to the RCN; while they confirm that this is the plan, no formal arrangements have been made yet.
