"On Sunday, the Northern Fleet ships and vessels have finished their anchorage in the neutral waters of Bay of the Seine. During the stop, the crews have completed a series of drills to combat underwater subversive forces," the statement said.
"There are currently good weather conditions on the ships" course, which will allow holding the anti-submarine aviation flights – of the Ka-27 helicopters in the near future," the statement continues.
A squadron of ships and support vessels from the Northern Fleet passed the narrowest part of the English Channel in the Strait of Dover and entered a bay near the mouth of the River Seine on Friday. Due to poor weather conditions, the ships decided to wait out a storm in the neutral waters off the bay.
The ships left the northern city of Severomorsk on November 20. Since then, they have traveled over 1,700 miles, often encountering severe weather.
