Yesterday, those who were lucky witnessed the northbound passage of the Udaloy class destroyer Admiral Levchenko. As all Udaloy class destroyer are stationed either in Northern Fleet or in Pacific Fleet we do not seem them often here in Istanbul. Admiral Levchenko is a Northern Fleet unit. That means she will soon make a south bound passage again. I hope I have more luck that time as I was never able to take photos of this class before.
