Four years delayed due to many changes in the design, she is finally out of the shed.
If Poseidon/Status-6 doesn't pan out as a second strategic strike weapon, GUGI would find some use of it considering the inherent design of it perfectly fits GUGI's core mission.

Although for the auxiliaries it was a temporary shift in location, for the corvettes, it might have been a permanent move as back in March-April, the admin at Vladivostok and the RU Ministry of Transport imposed a restriction on small vessels leaving in and out of Ulysses Bay.
[1/4] At least five large RF Navy Pacific Fleet auxiliary vessels have transferred from Bukhta Uliss to Bukhta Zolotoy Rog this week: Baklazhan-class tug "Fotiy Krylov", Dubna-class oiler "Pechenga", Emba-class cable ship "Kem", Neftegaz-class tug "Kalar", and an unidentified Altay-class oiler.

Russian Navy Submarine Fleet status as of August 2025
There are a lot of diesel sub movements and the curious case of the majority of the RU Pacific Fleet's Borei-A SSBN not being present in July 2025.
Some subs would be moved to inactive due to no activity for ~3 years.

🔎🇷🇺Admiral Nakhimov
As expected, Admiral Nakhimov is carrying out builder's sea trials in the Dvinsky Bay
Caveats apply given the low resolution SAR imagery but she appears to be operating ~50km NW of her berth in Severodvinsk

Project 22010-class oceanographic research vessel Almaz at Yantar Shipyard, Kaliningrad.
She's the second ship of a ship class where Yantar is a member of. Her deployment would mirror her sister in that she would be supporting activities of the Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research (GUGI).
