Moskva at Civitavecchia

The Guided Missile Cruiser “Moskva”, the flagship of the Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet, made a port visit to Civitavecchia (some 30 miles to the NW of Rome) with the Italian Frigate Maestrale before departing for a joint naval exercise in the Mediterranean Sea.

As advertised by the Marina Militare (Italian Navy) website, the ship arrived on Feb. 5 and could be visited on Feb. 7 the day before sailing away to take part in the exercise.

Giovanni Maduli went there and took the following pictures of the two ships. Noteworthy the Ka-27 helicopter (with a small rearing horse zap on the nose).
