This Danske Flyvevåbnet (Royal Danish Air Force) CL604MPA of Esk 721 was temporarily based at Port Victoria (Seychelles International Airport) in support of Operation Ocean Shield, the NATO anti-piracy mission in/near/at/over Somalia. The special modified CL604MPA is equipped with modern sensors, and the MPA - nicknamed the Dhow-Hunter (Dhows are ships used by pirates)- can cover some 75,000 square miles in a single patrol sortie.
