[REGNUM] The Project 955 Borei-A nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine cruiser Generalissimo Suvorov arrived at the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet) submarine forces base in the city of Vilyuchinsk in Kamchatka after an inter-fleet transition from the Northern to the Pacific Fleet. The ceremonial meeting dedicated to the meeting of the ship was attended by the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Viktor Liina, and the governor of the Kamchatka Territory, Vladimir Solodov

“Today is a historic and very important moment in the Pacific Fleet. The operational capabilities of the Pacific Fleet in solving problems of ensuring military security in the Asia-Pacific region have increased,” noted Admiral Viktor Liina.

The Governor of Kamchatka congratulated those present on the significant event. According to Solodov, the arrival of the Generalissimo Suvorov makes another contribution to strengthening the combat readiness and combat capability of the Pacific Fleet and the entire country.

“I would like to separately note that such events are already becoming a good tradition for us, which means that Vilyuchinsk, Kamchatka and the Pacific Fleet will further develop and remain a reliable outpost of the country in the northeast of the Motherland,” noted the head of the region . The arriving cruiser, according to him, is one of the most advanced in the world, but it is only one component of the country's defense capability. “Your courage and professionalism are equally important. I congratulate you on your completed combat missions and am confident that all the goals set for you will be achieved,” Solodov emphasized.

After the cruiser moored and the crew went to the pier, where the personnel of the Pacific Fleet 25th Submarine Division were located, the commander of the arriving cruiser reported to the commander of the Pacific Fleet on the completion of the assigned tasks, after which, according to naval tradition, he was presented with a roast pig, and the distinguished servicemen were awarded awards and letters. The meeting ended with a ceremonial parade of personnel and a meeting of the crew with their families.
