      this, of course, is good, but only actually in the Pacific Fleet there are only 6 ships of the ocean zone, and the rest are slow-moving or in the crap

    In addition, you can always monitor the events and movements of ships closer to the Strait of Hormuz.

    To maintain combat readiness, the fleet must regularly go to sea and conduct exercises. Participation in an anti-piracy operation serves the development of combat interaction between ships, as well as the development of operations with ships not belonging to our fleet. This experience is valuable in that it will allow, in case of conflict, to be more prepared for interaction with future potential allies.
