Black Sea Fleet (BSF) landing ship Caesar Kunikov will leave Sevastopol in March 2013 and head for Bulgaria to pass repair, a source in the fleet told Central Navy Portal.

As is planned, Caesar Kunikov would undergo repairs at the Flotski Arsenal shipyard in Varna. The ship will pass interim overhaul and modernization; working period will last 2 years. Repair will be performed in settlement of Bulgaria's national debt to the USSR.

Training ship Perekop will also arrive in Varna for repairs in the same period.

Perekop-class training ship Smolny finished interim overhaul at the Flotski Arsenal shipyard in Oct 2012; currently, the ship is moored at Novorossiysk Naval Base.

According to some information, training ship Smolny in 2013 will accommodate Russian naval mariners sent to France for training; in future, they will serve on Mistral-class landing ship Vladivostok being built for Russian Navy in Saint-Nazaire, France.
