***UPDATE - IRAN*** Iran has been dispersing its warships from Bandar Abbas, although many are just outside the harbour. None of their 3 KILOs submarines appear operational at moment (maybe 1, need to check) Several warships and midget submarines are stuck in port due to maintenance

In the Baltic Sea, as part of routine combat training activities, the crew of the B-608 “Mozhaisk” conducted torpedo firings against an “enemy” submarine. The role of the enemy submarine was played by the B-586 “Kronshtadt”. 📹"natashagetup"(June 23) mil.ru/news/36ccbb5...

Hello world ! I see an increased number of people I well respect in the naval monitoring spheres using Starboard - demo version. Is it that good ? I'm mulling over making a case to purchase a plan with my little collective 😁...feedback welcome, beers on me if we meet ! (Very soon for some !)

Seems minor given everything else that's going on, but this certainly looks like a shadow fleet tanker dragging anchor over a bunch of critical cables and then stopping to pick it up. @pa.nton.cx, @auonsson.bsky.social, @claudialanz.bsky.social app.starboard.nz/link/e0w9101...
