Northern Fleet vessel visits Cuba

04.08.2009
The Rescue tug Altay from Russia's Northern Fleet will visit the Cuban capital Havana in the first week of August.

The official visit takes place August 3-6, the Russian Embassy in Cuba told RIA Novosti.

This is the second time a Russian naval vessel visits Cuba since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The first visit took place in December 2008, when a unit from the Northern Fleet led by the destroyer Admiral Chabanenko made a successful trip to Havana.
