SEVASTOPOL, June 2.
/TASS/. The Black Sea Fleet ships, vessels and boats have deployed to naval
ranges for drills, the Fleet’s press office reported on Tuesday.
"The Black Sea
Fleet’s 37 surface ships, boats and support vessels have deployed to naval
ranges for a series of naval drills. At the initial stage, the crews practiced
emergency response preparedness for a battle and their deployment with the
subsequent departure from the bases for the designated areas," the press office
said in a statement.
During the week, the
ships’ crews will conduct sole and joint artillery and missile firings against
naval, coastal and air targets. The sailors will also practice marine training
elements, including joint deployment and maneuvering in various formations, the
statement says.
The summer training
period kicked off in Russia’s Black Sea Fleet on June 1. For the first time, it
opened with a review of the ships in the Sevastopol roadstead. The Black Sea
Fleet commander reviewed the formation of ships aboard a communications boat
and checked the forces’ readiness for accomplishing assigned missions.
Following this, the crews of ships and boats set off for the Fleet’s combat
training naval ranges.
