Cuba Welcomes Russian Baltic Fleet Warships

Jaime C. July 29, 2024 Cuba, Russia,

A group of Russia’s Northern Fleet warships, including the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and the Kazan nuclear-powered submarine, has made a courtesy visit to the Cuban capital of Havana.

Warships of Russia’s formidable Baltic Fleet entered the port of Havana Saturday as a sign of the stalwart alliance between Russia and Cuba. The Smolny vessel was the first to enter the port, accompanied by the Neustrashimy (lit. Fearless) frigate and the Yelnya vessel.
