Some Russian television stations showed images of the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier sailed left Severomorsk, the Russian Northern Fleet base in the Arctic region, near the city of Murmansk, northwest Russia. Aircraft carrier the only one who still operated Russia was seen accompanied by a destroyer and a supply ship.
The Russian ships were reported to undergo annual training in the Mediterranean region, and will be joined by several other warships from the fleet in the Russian Navy.
Previously, Ladny frigate from Russia's Black Sea Fleet has reportedly dispatched first from its base in Sevastopol, Ukraine, Sunday (12/04/2011).
The ship was scheduled to meet the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and the Admiral Chabanenko destroyer in the Mediterranean.
Missile frigate is scheduled to dock at the port of Cyprus, Malta, France, and Spain.
One team is included in the ship's anti-terror, to maintain the security of the ship during the past few strait connecting the Black Sea with the Mediterranean Sea, and anchored in the harbor for foreign countries.
