Good decision by Ukraine to sell off the Slava class missile cruiser Ukraina. Who wants to buy? I've always thought that the Slava class had great lines.

CDR (Join to see) I got a really good look at one, Commander, when they interrupted an UNREP by sailing down the middle. I don't imagine Ukraine has the nads that the USSR did at the time, though lol.

Great sea story! Even with the USA - USSR Incidents At Sea Agreement the SovNavy took some risks when they wanted to send a message. Thanks for sharing!
