A state-of-the-art communication ship for the Russian Navy was launched in St. Petersburg on Monday.
The Yury Ivanov, a Project 18280 ship built at the Severnaya Verf shipyard, will be assigned to the Northern Fleet after it completes sea trials, said Admiral Alexander Tatarinov, chief of the Navy General Staff.
