The “new era” of the Navy arrived today. And it is making port in Salamis, completing its journey from Lorient, France.

The port authorities proceeded with the arrest of two Romanians for espionage on Monday afternoon as photos of the Salamis Naval fort were found on their mobile phones.

The Battle of Salamis was a naval battle fought between an Alliance of Greek city-states and the Achaemenid Empire of Persia in September 480 BC in the straits between the mainland and Salamis, an island in the Saronic Gulf near Athens. It marked the high-point of the second Persian invasion of Greece which had begun in 480 BC.
