With Ulysses Bay now clear of civilian leisure traffic and the area now reverted back to MOD control, we would see more activities in the area regarding movement of VMF assets.

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.

At Yantar shipyard today, they laid down the fifth member of the Project 11711-class landing ship and the third of the improved Project 11711 class.

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).

This is an improved version of Yantar (Project 22010) and is named after Vice Admiral Alexei Burilichev, head of GUGI from 2005-2020.
