After the dock repairs, you won't be able to get out into the Mediterranean Sea soon.

And what will prevent the exit?

Repair and repair strife ... After something else, at least somewhere to go.

Convention on the Straits of Montreux.

Article 12
The coastal powers to the Black Sea will have the right to navigate through the Straits, in order to return to their base, their submarines built or bought outside this sea, if Turkey has been notified in advance of the tab or purchase.

Submarines belonging to these Powers can likewise pass through the Straits for repair at shipyards located outside this sea, provided that accurate data on this matter will be given to Turkey.

Sorry, but what's the difficulty. After all, judging by the text, it is precisely the notification procedure that is provided, and not obtaining consent / permission?
Or do you mean that for this you need to provide accurate data on the repair? But then you can get off with just general types of work. There is no right to check.

The subject of the Montreux Convention has been discussed many times. Its essence is such that boats can enter and leave only for repairs. Since the boat was repaired in Sevastopol, it will not be soon repaired in the Baltic.

To keep boats in the Mediterranean, you need to either drive them from the Baltic or take them out for repairs with a visit to the Baltic. Or create a repair base in Egypt, for example, so as not to go through the Straits.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

You contradict yourself. The Black Sea countries can navigate boats through the straits. And this is said precisely in article 12

Powers coastal to the Black Sea will have the right to navigate through the Straits, in order to return to their base, their submarines, constructed or purchased outside this sea, if Turkey has been notified in advance of the bookmark or purchase

These boats in-1 return to their base, and in-2 they, for that matter, were built outside the Black Sea. But for the Black Sea countries it doesn't really matter. But if the boat was bought from a Black Sea country by another country (for example, Libya bought an old submarine from Bulgaria). then Libya has the right to lead this boat to the Black Sea only for repair... For all countries except the Black Sea, submarines are prohibited from entering the Black Sea.
For the Black Sea countries there are only restrictions on the passage. Boats must go on the surface and they must pass the Bosphorus-Sea of ​​Marmara-Dardanelles zone within XNUMX hours (surface ships have the right to settle in the Sea of ​​Marmara at night)

Comrade, do not replicate nonsense. How many boats did we have in the Black Sea during the Soviet era and everyone went in and out, regardless of whether they were repaired or not. Combat services in Mediterranean and beyond. And on VO you read "internet-materials", so only repairs can go in and out. This is the difference between the Black Sea countries and all the others. All countries have the right to have submarines in the Navy and operate them both in the Black Sea and outside it.
