Qingdao destroyer
In the summer I arrived in Sevastopol. It has long sought to visit this city of military glory. It so happened that I was in Crimea before, but I could not come to Sevastopol.
It is clear that we expect something from every trip. But I certainly didn’t expect to get on board the Chinese destroyer in this trip =)
The destroyer arrived with an unofficial visit after fighting with pirates in the Gulf of Aden. This is his second visit to Sevastopol (the first in 2002). Those who wish at a certain time could inspect the ship.

The heat was wild, so everyone looked at him sympathetically.
Visitors were not allowed inside. Attempts to speak English did not succeed, and no one was assigned to explain us. The Chinese were friendly and actively explained by gestures)
That's how I first visited aboard a warship
