It is not the business of such a ship to guard Nigerian pirates.

That's for sure, too cool. Maybe on the way back will conduct "military exercises."

You are not right! You probably meant the Somali pirates (the Nigerian are in a different water area), and the ship was carrying out a combat mission to protect against "other pirates"!

Around Syria, "pirates" gathered darkness .. Everyone is waiting for the Russians to make a mistake and rush to tear to pieces Syria. Now Shoigu with the “chief pirates” is sorting out a relationship, and they have piastres in their eyes.! he he

Marine workers! Military sailors now get. Of the military services do not get out.

It is necessary to be completely sick to deal with a warship. It is one thing to attack a civilian ship in the clear sea and quite another when such a ship accompanies a warship.
But actually I was interested in this moment: did the pirates attack the ships that accompany the warships? Somehow about three years ago, information flashed that our warship had arrested a group of pirates.
This already somehow became a habit: Nigerian pirates or in the area of ​​Malaysia or Singapore, but the first time when messages about pirates flickered was wild: the times of captain Morgan and Kidd were back, and why did they appear now?

no pirate submarines were seen during the shift

Our faithful hard worker.

Hmm, and when will they send a petya to drive Somali pirates?

Well, we don’t have free frigates for the anti-piracy campaign, and the autonomy and seaworthiness of corvettes is not the same, so we have to chase large anti-submarines of this project around the world.

The news has an author - press service of the Federation Council. Reported briefly and to the point.
What questions, comrades: sea ships are sent to the seas, ocean ships to the ocean. Autonomy on atomic steamers depends on the size of food pantries, on the rest - on the capacity of fuel tanks. Can you provide a ship with a displacement of 2000 tons of fuel tank at least 500 tons? Hardly. Then do not be surprised that it is hard for a corvette to walk around the mainland.
During the Second World War for the Northern Fleet in the USA, our crews received several sea hunters - a variant of the small anti-submarine ship of that time. Going home across the Atlantic was a really heroic epic.

Does he have calibers in service? After the anti-piracy mission, I suppose to shoot hunting!

It seems that the command could not come up with anything else to at least take something l / s. Or maybe the year is approaching and we need to write off material assets, money, fuel, etc.
