 US and Iranian Navies: A Love Story. During protracted Iran-Iraq War, both sides were trying to cripple the opponent's economy and thereby degrade him.

 Alexei Alsufiev: The Carrier Will Be Ready In Time. One of the largest and most important export contracts for Russian defense industry repair and retrofitting of ex-Russian aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Gorshkov for Indian Navy is reaching the final straight.
 Centenary Is Not Senility. JSC Almaz Marine Yard was established 100 years ago as workshops of Finland Light Steamship Company. On the eve of the yard's centenary, Reporter of Central Navy Portal met with Viktor M. Ivanov, Director General of JSC Almaz Marine Yard. The talk was about current state and near-term prospects of the shipyard.
 "Flying Dutchman" in Mokhovaya Bay. Despite comments of Pacific Fleet Press Service, some federal news agencies give another tone to the case trying to blame submariners for the collision. So what really happened?
 Danish Navy Commander: We've Got Much To Defend. Baltic Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Viktor Chirkov and Royal Danish Navy Commander (literally, Admiral Danish Fleet) Rear Admiral Finn Hansen held a protocol meeting on September 8 at conference hall of the Central Naval Museum.
 Stepwise Towards Cooperation. Central Navy Portal had a chance to ask delegation of Pakistani Defense Ministry some questions.

 Importing aircraft carriers: the only prospect? Present-day Russian Navy needs substantial optimization.
 Nerpa vs Chakra: which is to fail first? Military procuracy recently reported in a demure way that causers of the tragedy happened to nuclear submarine Nerpa had been already found.

 From the Moon to Taman. Far back in 1956 when space explorations were not so widespread, Sergei P. Korolev convincingly stated that rocket flight to the Moon and back was practicable. One year later he repeated: "Reaching the Moon is technically feasible".
 Russian and the US navies have common views on future. US Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) paid an official visit to Russia in April 14-18, 2011. Since 2007 this post has been occupied by Admiral Gary Roughead. Despite the pretty tight schedule, Admiral Roughead agreed to contribute time to Central Navy Portal and answer the chief editor's questions.
 Most probably, Russia's Black Sea Fleet (BSF) soon would have to wave goodbye to considerable part of lands leased in Sevastopol. It seems impossible to fill the gap in manpower emerged in Russian Armed Forces after drastic officers' reductions. Frigates and submarines built for BSF cannot compensate for the fleet's natural depletion.
 February 9, 2011 was a 107th anniversary of heroic battle carried out by legendary cruiser Varyag and gunboat Koreyets. Having received unexpected news about beginning of the Russo-Japanese War on this very day in 1904 and repelled an offer to surrender, those Russian ships tried to break a blockade in Chemulpo port and entered a battle against the outnumbered enemy.
 Russian press and RuNet are full of reports about soldiers and sailors fallen sick after introduction of new military uniform. Let us speak plain rumors are righteous, morbidity amid personnel wearing Yudashkin-designed clothing is really higher than among those who still have old-style uniform (at least at Pacific Fleet). However as it strikes me the couturier himself bears no relation to the matter.
 Sometimes when another Russian-flagged vessel either becomes a pirates' loot or is detained by local authorities, press and community ask rhetorical questions like "could anybody presume to touch a Soviet-flagged ship?" Not exactly. Soviet ships (just like American, British and other ones) from time to time also happened to be victims of now-called "pariah regimes", various rebels, regional wars, conflicts, sabotages, and terror acts.
 On December 24, 2010 Russia and France declared about concluded agreement on construction of Mistral class assault landing ships at French shipyards. It is planned to build other two ships of this kind in Russia. What consequences this acquisition is fraught with for Russia? Guest from Toulon. Five "arguments" in favour of Mistral.
 Shipbuilders of Sevmash are well aware of aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya (former aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Gorshkov) which is being reconditioned for Indian Navy. That is natural they have spent much trouble on the carrier to achieve current impressive appearance.

 Before reconstructing Cam Ranh naval base, we should build anything inside Russia and start with shaping of Russian consciousness, political housecleaning, and concern for people. Otherwise, the dying elephant (as the Chinese call Russia) would yell the last cry. That is perception of writer and ex-submariner Alexander Pokrovsky.
 Piracy-fighters also descent to criminal methods. Pirates aboard US Navy ships.
