| Direct translation of the article. Edited. [REGNUM] On June 28, a detachment of ships and support vessels of the Northern Fleet (SF) of the Russian Navy, led by the missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov, left Severomorsk for the Barents Sea to make the transition to the Baltic Sea. This was reported by the press service of the Federation Council on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The detachment that left the main base of the Northern Fleet and proceeded to the inter-fleet passage to the Baltic, in addition to the cruiser, included large landing ship "Pyotr Morgunov", a large anti-submarine ship "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" and a rescue tugboat "Altai". "During the voyage, the crews of the ships will improve their naval training, work out the tasks of joint maneuvering and conduct several exercises as part of the combat training course for surface ships of the Russian Navy," the message says. The ships of the Northern Fleet are expected to arrive in the Baltic Sea in the first ten days of July. |

| #3 Note that they can't go anywhere without a tug handy. (Not unlike USN's LCS fleet.) |
