Last couple of days we had an increased activity here in Istanbul.

First, on 12 May 2015 the ever-present Russian landing ships Novocharkassk and Azov returned from another Mediterranean trip.

Two days later the much publicized visit of the PLAN ships 550 Weifang and 547 Linyi in the Black Sea has ended.

The Jiangkai II (type 054A) class frigates from PLAN North Sea Fleet made their southbound passage with the Russian Dergach (project 1239;) class corvette Samum. One day later the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the Slava class cruiser Moskva was deployed to the Mediterranean.
