GBR CASEX S-11. Procedures Para 1b. The purpose of the safety zone is unclear. If it is to provide separation to the OPFOR and FRNFOR submarines when they are both shallow, then 4nm is considered excessive. Suggest the safety area is reduced to 1nm. If it is not for this purpose then clarification should be provided. If the authors of CASEX S-11 or nations are unwilling to amend the safety area dimensions, then GBR should apply a reservation so as to reduce the width to 1nm for GBR use. The reservation is based on the fact that a FRNFOR submarine could potentially be 16nm from an area where it could go shallow or surface. This seems excessive. TUR Turkey does not accept the term “coastal waters” because it’s not included international law. The use of the term “coastal waters” is accepted by Turkey as agreed in MC 296/1 (That can neither have any effect nor any implication in terms of sovereign states under international law) COMMENTS CAN Release of STANAG 1052 does not automatically grant release of the publication.
