The Northern Fleet’s large anti-submarine warfare ship Vice-Admiral Kulakov wrapped up its business call at Algeria and left the port for the Mediterranean Sea, the Fleet’s press office reported on Thursday.

Axar.az reports citing Russian media.

"The Russian sailors’ visit lasted three days. Over this time, the ship’s crew replenished fresh water and food supplies, fulfilled necessary maintenance works and had a rest from the deck watch," the press office said in a statement.

No visits to the city, excursions or other mass cultural events were held for the Russian Navy sailors in Algeria due to the epidemiological situation. This has been the ship’s first visit to a foreign port since the beginning of its deployment in distant waters and several more business calls at ports of some other Mediterranean states are planned, the statement says.
