The North Atlantic Treaty Organization this week will launch a major naval exercise to test its ability to protect vital sea lanes from North America to Europe. About 165 ships and submarines and hundreds of aircraft from the United States, Belgium, Britain, Canada, Denmark, West Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Portugal will be involved. The monthlong operation, code-named Ocean Safari 85, will begin Thursday in Boston. It comes a month after the Soviets conducted a huge naval exercise in the North Atlantic and the Norwegian Sea.
