"Sri Lanka Navy and Indian Navy started a joint naval exercise off Trincomalee today. It will go on until 24th September," Sri                                                                                                                      Lankan naval spokesman commander Kosala Warnakulasuriya said. "The exercise, code-named 'SLINEX II', is aimed at enhancing  interoperability of the two navies. It will pave way for both navies to  rehearse the concept of joint naval operations and enhance own skills in  order to gain from each other's experience," he said. Warnakulasuriya said that two offshore patrol vessels, one fast  missile vessel, two fast gun boats and six fast attack crafts from Sri  Lanka Navy and one destroyer, one frigate, one missile corvette, one  landing ship tank and two fast attack craft along with one maritime  patrol aircraft from India are participating in the exercise. These are routine exercises of the two navies who maintained a close  cooperation during Sri Lanka's battle against the LTTE in the north and  north eastern waters, the Sri Lankan officials said.PTI</blockquote>
