Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Naval Form Terminology
English term or phrase: MDES
Hello guys, I´ve got a lot of questions so, I´ll go straight to the point in each.

The context:
A military form where the events that took place during a vessel interdiction at sea are explained. The language structure is military - short sentences, lots of acronyms and naval terms, used in order to be very brief in the narrative.

The sentence/terms (target expression in quotation marks and caps):
nr1 and nr2 MDES are otl in phc

My try:
Los "MDES" número 1 y 2 están otl en phc.
I have no idea what otl and phc mean either, but this post is meant only for mdes. Perhaps including them will help answerers figure out the meaning.

Thank you.
