I have archived the list of the Russian ship movements in 2013.

Reblogged this on TimInHonolulu.
Does a ship the size of a U.S. cruiser take on a local pilot for the transit of the Straights? Thanks in advance.
It is advised for all ships whether commercial or military, to take a pilot on board when they pass through Turkish Straits.
Notice Vella Gulf still has SPS-49 antenna which means not yet modernized.
