Boiky and
Steregushchiy returned to their homeport of Baltiysk following a long-distance deployment mission in the North Atlantic.
The Russian Navy’s Baltic Fleet said the two vessels successfully accomplished the mission, which included multiple drills.
During their deployment that lasted seventy-seven days, the corvettes
Boiky and
Steregushchiy covered a total distance of almost 9,500 nautical miles,” Baltic Fleet spokesman Roman Martov told Tass earlier this week. “In the Atlantic Ocean, the warships’ crews held drills for air, anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) defense and practiced assigned tasks.”
During those exercises, the crews of the two corvettes dealt with the tasks of searching for, detecting and destroying a notional enemy’s submarine with anti-submarine armament in interaction with the crews of Ka-27 helicopters, which operated from the vessels.
