Last week we have witnessed something rare: A British warship, Type 45 class destroyer HMS Duncan heading to the Black Sea. As she passed through Istanbul Strait well after sunset, thus her photo is a little bit dark. But here are a couple of photos of her, when she was in Çanakkale in March this year.

Other than HMS Duncan we have seen the usual Russian logistics movement to keep the troops in Syria well supplied.

I have archived the list of the Russian warship movements in 2013 and the list of foreign warship movements in 2014.
