On 6 September 2014 Task Unit 2 of SNMG-2 consisting of F-102 ESPS Almirante Juan De Borbon and Canadian frigate FHH-333 HMCS Toronto entered into Black Sea. And on 7 September 2014 in the early morning the Russian Slava class cruiser 121 Moskva made her southbound passage through the Bosphorus.  The deployment of the largest ship of the Russian Black Sea fleet is an interesting move.

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