Russian defense minister made a definitive decision to transfer Navy Main HQ to St. Petersburg. Practically, it implies loss of control over the fleet for a long time including naval component of strategic nuclear force, and appropriation of enormous funds to create a parallel structure.

"Basic divisions of Navy Main HQ will move to St. Petersburg, including operational department and intelligence section. However, building of the Admiralty which is planned to accommodate Navy HQ is by no means ready for that. There are neither appropriate secure communication facilities, nor automated control systems, nor nuclear force control system, nor missile warning system. So far, there is only a door-plate "Navy Commander-in-Chief" hanged, reports Argumenty Nedeli citing a source in the Navy.
