Pacific Sentinel: News Story: Russian Navy Mistral LHDs to be based in the Far East ports of Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk

Russia will base its French-made Mistral-class amphibious assault ship in the Far East ports of Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky when they enter service, a senior Defense Ministry official said in an interview. Russia signed a 1.2-billion euro deal with a French shipyard in 2011 for two Mistral-class ships, the first of which is due for delivery in 2014 and the second in 2015.
