Namibia was among the twenty-one countries that participated in the 63rd UNITAS exercise, which ended this week.

The Namibian ship Elephant was assigned to represent the country's navy during the naval parade and also in an operation where UNITAS marked Brazil's bi-centennial independence anniversary.
 
UNITAS is a long-standing naval operation between the USA and the Caribbean, Central and South American countries, conducted in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
