Hi All

Can anyone kindly give me the name of the Russian Naval ship that was berthed by Albert Docks on the morning of the above date please? I seem to have logged it incorrectly!

Many thanks

Gordon

Gordon,
Even if I knew it, I doubt I would be able to spell it!
However, I noticed the Liverpool Echo carried an article the day the Russian and the German ship sailed. If you browse through the Echo's web site, you may well find it there.

Hi Kelvin & Derek

Many thanks for your responses. Derek, it looks as if I spelt it correctly but foolishly left out the prefix RFS Vitse!!
I must admit even though the weather was poor I saw many new ships on Saturday. Worth the drive from Gloucester.

All best wishes

Gordon

Hi

She was the Russian Udaloy Class Destroyer RFS Vice-Admiral Kulakov (626).

I was lucky enough to get onboard her on the 25 May 2013.

If you are interested I have written a report on her on my blog on my own website shipspottersteve.com

Regards

Steve
