The Ropucha class large landing ship of the Baltic Fleet, Kaliningrad returned to her home port at the end of November. For 12 months she was assigned to the Black Sea Fleet and made several transport runs for the so-called Syrian Express operations.

Another Ropucha class landing ship from the Baltic Fleet, Alexander Shabalin replaced Kaliningrad.
