Baltic Fleet (BF) training ship Perekop left Leningrad Naval Base on Sept 20 to start a cruise around the Baltic Sea.

Main task given to the ship crew is to provide navigational practice for about 300 cadets of Navy Training and Scientific Center, including 120 cadets of Popov Naval Institute of Radioelectronics and 150 cadets of Baltiysk Naval Institute named after F. Ushakov. Cruise commander is RADM Alexander Tsurkan, the director of Baltiysk Naval Institute; ship's commanding officer is Capt 2 rank Sergei Bor.

The route was planned in such a manner that naval cadets could practice all details of navigation within a 2-week cruise and will pass through the whole Baltic Sea – from Kronshtadt to Bornholm Island and Baltic straits. During the training cruise cadets are going to study the ship's construction and keep combat watches which will help to apply obtained knowledge and skills in their further service career.

Upon termination of the cruise each cadet will pass numerous exams to be promoted to the next course of the institute.

Reference

1st rank training ship Perekop was laid down at Varsky Shipyard (Szczecin, Poland) on Apr 24, 1976; launched on Dec 11, 1976; USSR's national flag was hoisted on Oct 4, 1977. Soviet naval ensign was hoisted on Nov 12, 1977 and then Perekop was commissioned into training ships brigade, Leningrad Naval Base. Training ship Perekop is designed to provide practice for naval cadets.

The ship is capable to accommodate 350 trainees on board. Navigability of Perekop makes it possible to conduct cruises and use arms under any weather conditions in all seas and oceans; that is why the ship's cruises are normally performed in the Atlantic where cadets have the opportunity to make the best use of all present-day comm facilities and navigational aids. Through 32 years of service, Perekop has covered about 400,000 nautical miles and performed over 200 calls at European, North African, and Latin American ports worthily representing national interests of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation.
