Flagship of the Pacific Fleet, the Guards missile cruiser Varyag together with the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov pass through La Perouse Strait
01.07.2023
A Pacific Fleet's surface action group made up of the flagship of the Pacific Fleet and the guards missile cruiser Varyag together with the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov has passed through La Pérouse Strait from the Sea of Okhotsk into the Sea of Japan.
The ships' crews had a series of shipboard drills and training exercises during the crossing by sea.
Sailors improved their skills in air defence and ship damage control, and successfully practised anti-sabotage missions.
The Pacific sailors conducted search and tracking exercises in designated areas to locate and track down enemy submarines. The ships' crews manoeuvered through mine-threatened regions as artillery fired at surface targets to simulate anti-ship mines.
The ship's crews of missile and artillery combat units regularly practised their standard firing practice with standard artillery pieces during the exercise.
The Guards missile cruiser Varyag and the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov make the sea crossing from the Pacific Ocean to their home base after completing their assigned missions as part of the Pacific Fleet's operational exercise.
