On 3rd December 2015 the US Navy destroyer USS Ross returned to the Black Sea after 183 days. Her latest deployment to the region was in July.

One of the most discussed topics after the shooting down of a Russian Su-24 by Turkish F-16 was whether Turkey would allow Russian warships to pass through the Turkish Straits. The answer as evident from the photos is yes, Turkey did allow Russian warship to pass through the Straits.

We have observed Ropucha class landing ship Korolev and Alligator class landing ship Saratov going to south and Ropucha class landing ship Yamal going to north.
