01:18Russia: St. Petersburg celebrates Navy Day
St. Petersburg, Russia’s most historic maritime city, celebrated Russia's Navy Day in a grand manner on Sunday.
A flotilla involving ships of the Baltic Fleet and the Leningrad Naval Base travelled up the Neva through the heart of the city. Among the vessels that took part were the corvettes Stereguzhiy and Stoykiy and the Kilo-class submarine the Vyborg. The ships were opened to the public in St. Petersburg and nearby Kronstadt and a concert was held on the deck of the Stoykiy.
The Stoykiy is the fourth ship of Project 20380 for the Baltic Fleet and was commissioned this year. Two new submarines, a Yasen-class nuclear attack submarine, Severodvinsk, and a Borei-class ballistic missile submarine, Alexander Nevsky entered service with the Russian navy ahead of Sunday's celebrations.
