Isn't the US carrier in the eastern Med with the French same?

My bad. I understood she was going in west mediteranean. Seems she is going in the north. Maybe test some Zirkon missiles.

Why waste the fuel? Test Zirkon with the carriers.

With or against ?

If they behave just use the "electronic launch" method. Otherwise…

Russian Navy oceanographic research vessel arrives in Bellingshausen Sea

Explorations are conducted as part of the 5th stage of the round-the-world expedition devoted to the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Antarctic by Russian explorers, according to the top brass

MOSCOW, March 16. /TASS/. The Russian Navy’s oceanographic research vessel Admiral Vladimirsky arrived in the Bellingshausen Sea to carry out explorations as part of the 5th stage of the round-the-world expedition devoted to the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Antarctic by Russian explorers, the Defense Ministry of Russia reported on Monday.

"During the explorations in the Bellingshausen Sea, the oceanographic research vessel Admiral Vladimirsky will survey the sea areas adjacent to the coastline of Peter I Island in order to adjust sea navigation maps," the ministry said in a statement.

Peter I Island is an uninhabited island located in the Bellingshausen Sea 400 km off the Antarctic coast in the Antarctic portion of the Pacific Ocean. It was discovered on January 11 (under the Julian calendar), 1821 by the Russian expedition under the command of Faddey Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev and named after Emperor Peter the Great, the founder of the Russian regular fleet.

The island is located south of 60 degrees of the southern latitude and is covered by the international law on the Antarctic.

The round-the-world expedition kicked off in December 2019 and will last until June.

The Russian expedition led by prominent explorers Faddey Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev discovered the Antarctic on January 28, 1820. On that day, 200 years ago, the explorers approached the shores of the ice-covered continent aboard the sloops Vostok and Mirny. After circumnavigating the Antarctic ice sheets, the expedition confirmed the existence of the sixth continent, the Antarctic.

Former ships of the Ukrainian Navy in Sevastopol

The other day in Sevastopol, the collection of former ships and vessels of the Ukrainian Navy has been completed. In total, two groups were formed assembled in the Streletskaya and Engineering bays. No official statements have been received from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on these activities, some sources claim that it is possible to transfer units to Ukraine. However, it is worth assuming that the whole group is simply preparing to relocate to the Crimean naval base - Donuzlav (the former main base of the Southern Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Navy) for further sediment.

The only really useful ship is the Konstantin Olshansky Project 775 large landing ship.

In addition there are some relatively modern (for Ukraine) ASW corvettes that could still serve...

All the rest is scrap

Hmm, I wonder what happened with that EU court case over those ships?
Last I heard was some ludicrous situation if I recall the 404s were trying to block Russia from submitting evidence that Russia has a standing offer: all the 404s have to do is bring a tug to pick them up.
404 argument was something silly like that the facts prejudiced their right to a fair trial

Just tow that junk outside 404 territorial waters and let tide deliver them back

Or let a passing NATO ship do a tow job.

Mystery solved

As commented in the oil and gas thread, probably not.

But then going round the Cape was never really a mystery.

The South Atlantic obviously not included.

#Russia|n #Navy has been a bit crazy recently.
I think I shoved all the activities of the past week into this map through 29 March 2020, but some of the timings are difficult to solidly identify. #ВМФ #OSINT

Nice

Despite the epidemic, the construction of the Russian fleet continues

On April 28, two universal landing ships (UDC) were to be launched at the Zaliv plant in Crimea, two frigates of project 22350 at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg and two multipurpose submarines of project 855 wrote:

Not launched, laid down.

Meh. It's hardly an epidemic. In 1918 flu killed tens of millions and WW1 went on just fine.

Considering how slow Russians are these days, it'll be at least 10 years before the first ship is launched.

The Yanks may have brought the flu over in 17/18 but they didn't have much effect on the war and the flu didn't hit until 1919.

Apparently that one too came from China via 80-100,000 Chinese workers brought over to do the heavy lifting in France in the rear.
