Flagships of Northern Fleet (NF) and Black Sea Fleet (BSF) – heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Petr Veliky and Guard missile cruiser Moskva – will call at Vladivostok in the nearest days to hold joint drills, reported RIA Novosti referring to Pacific Fleet (PF) HQ.

"Petr Veliky is expected to call at Vladivostok on May 20 (currently is in the Sea of Japan); cruiser Moskva is supposed to arrive on Monday, May 24", said the interviewee.

Crews of the cruisers have completed joined stage of the long-range cruise. The ships carried out tasks of maneuvering on flagman's signals, cooperative use of arms, air defense drills, towage of damaged ship, transfer of injured and sick personnel etc. During joint drills they had practiced flights of shipborne helicopters; the crews had trained passage of command from one ship to another.

The ships sailed jointly through the Strait of Malacca and the Strait of Singapore; they trained navigation in extreme conditions of narrow and crowded straits.

Port calls and joint drills with Russian military partners were scheduled during the cruise. Petr Veliky is the world's biggest non-carrying warship. The cruiser is designed for destruction of large sea surface targets, antiaircraft and antisubmarine defense of naval formations in distant regions of the World Ocean.

Cruiser Moskva is the lead ship of Project 1164 Atlant which comprised first six Soviet cruisers powered by gas turbines. In Feb 1983 the cruiser was commissioned into Red Banner's Black Sea Fleet.
