Pacific Fleet task force consisting of large ASW ship Admiral Vinogradov, tanker Pechenga, and salvage tug SB-522 has recently finished its anti-piracy mission off the Horn of Africa and heads for home coast. The task force is headed by Capt 2 rank Ivan Kovalev.

Throughout 4 months of anti-piracy watch in the Gulf of Aden, Russian task force has escorted 14 commercial convoys.

Large ASW ship Admiral Vinogradov carried out scheduled call at Seychelles' capital city Victoria in March 4-7 under the Pacific Fleet's international activities program. During the 4-day visit Russian mariners paid visits to Russian ambassador in Seychelles, city authorities, and local military command. Besides, the warship was visited by Russian diplomats and diaspora.

Currently, the task force sails in the Indian Ocean, particularly, in the Laccadive Sea which is close to India. Pacific mariners will visit Vietnamese port Da Nang on their way home in May 7-12. Russian sailors will have rest there and take part in festivities related to the Victory day.

Recall, this has been the fifth Pacific Fleet's task force keeping anti-piracy watch in the Gulf of Aden. Large ASW ship Admiral Vinogradov has successfully completed this mission for the second time.

The task force is expected to arrive in Pacific Fleet main naval base Vladivostok late in May.
