#3 I wonder if there will be any "disasters" at sea since they have a whole generation that has not ventured out into blue water.

#4 Wow--At this rate, Russia's naval resurgence will soon leapfrog them past the Swiss navy and almost put them on par with the Austrian navy.

#7 the frank spencer of the worlds navys sets out to sea once more, gonna be a hoot this one is! What disasters await the brave crews of these steel beasts, could it be American subs, British destroyers, Chinese aircraft or maybe just the rusting hulks thier riding in? How amusing

#8 Sounds like Navy is making last ditch effort to show it's important and should be funded.After missile fiascos earlier and reports deep water is Navy is about to be scrapped,I'm sure the Admirals want to generate some good publicity w/photos of Russian ships showing flag at various countries around world.And anyone wish to bet against the ships having picked crews,especially heavy on officers?

#11 This does sound something like a deathride. The navy's desperate for dough.
