      And why is he furious? No, here we must act cold-bloodedly and professionally. An excellent target, the "mark" of the sight itself came up. Well, not the first time someone is trying to threaten us. Here the main thing is that Crimea is OUR, and if so the Black Sea is OUR.

          Take it easy. As long as they observe the rules prescribed by Montreux, any warship, not a Black Sea power, has the right to stay in the Black Sea for 21 days. And after that, what kind of HOSTS are there?

        The return visit of the Ukrainian squadron to France is logical. The admiral should be selected a bit more representative, more representative, in order to make a favorable impression on his French colleagues.

    I remember these splashes about the smoke from the Kuzi pipe ... And there was a frigate with a patch on the starboard side of the paddling pool, and he couldn’t see anything besides Middle-earth ... The ocean didn’t even smell.

          rusty support

          Joke about painting ships
          1961, the Caribbean crisis.
          There are two boats in the Caribbean: Soviet and American. A commander in a white tunic, from a Soviet one, a commander in a cap and vest appears from an American boat. The Americans are in a panic and do not know what to say to the Russians, as their words may be misunderstood. After conferring, they decided that everyone knew at least a little English. The American commander shouts in a shout: "Hello Russian." The Russian commander hears this and answers: “What is badly painted? Urgent dive. First, second torpedo tubes tovs! ”

    it would not be a bad idea for our cruiser to go to Frac Brisas, and since it would be by chance to sail along the Mexican coast, the San Diego town is simply great for starting a "civil" war to separate California from the states

    Odessans will be able to visit the ships on March 18 from 14.00 to 16.00. The press center specified that the guests will depart from the coast of Odessa on 20 in March.
    The group includes the Polish headquarters ship “511 Kontradmirał X. Czernicki”, as well as marine minesweepers - the Spanish “M 35 Duero”, the German “M 1061 Rottweil” and the Turkish “M 265 Alanya”

    American and NATO ships regularly call, both for exercises and for visiting. Their presence is no longer surprising.
    We come to see, chatting with the crew while an excursion is conducted.

    Something "stealth" is completely rusty - from the bridge to the anchor. Maybe he came for sale or exchange, and its maintenance is not as expensive as the Ukraine missile cruiser. At least walks - will be the flagship.

    he was at 2015 in Odessa (which is not mentioned in the article) - then the entrance was only military
    The ship will come to Odessa on a friendly visit after a trip to the Mediterranean Sea, the press service of the French Language and Culture Center “Alliance Frances” in Odessa, which is part of the worldwide network of French language and culture centers, headquartered in Paris, reports. In Odessa, the "Alliance Francaise" was created in the 1993 year.
    In general, the French in our city are historically frequent guests ... One was even our mayor.
    The frigate is standing on the right side of the Sea Terminal. They even load it from Bychka (yes, yes, from a Russian-made car)
