Russian Warship will use the Canal
Friday, December 5, 2008 13:53
In the first time since World War II, a Russian warship, namely the Admiral Chabanenko will cross the Panama Canal. This is after the joint navy maneuvers held with the Venezuelan navy, in the Caribbean Sea. This is the first deployment of Russian warships since the Cold War era. The arrival of this warship, as well as the nuclear-powered missile cruiser, Peter the Great coincided with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to the Latin American region, to attend to Russia’s image in the region, which has long been neglected.
The Admiral Chabanenko is scheduled to visit the former US naval base of Rodman on the Panama Pacific port side.
