Pomor- 2012
The Russian-Norwegian joint naval exercise kicked off on the 11th of May. The Russian large anti-submarine ship Admiral Chabanenko and the Norwegian frigate Fridtjof Nansen left from the port of Severomorsk to conduct the drills.
Together the ships covered more than 1000 nautical miles, completed 20 military tasks including firing of the artillery and conventional firing weapons, and worked on firefighting and life saving drill.
The exercises concluded in the Norwegian port of Bodo.
On the last day of the exercise, representatives from the headquarters of the Northern Fleet held a ceremonial flag raising. The honor guard and an orchestra from the Northern Fleet paid their respects at a memorial for those who died in World War II.
During their time in the city the Russian sailors were given an opportunity to visit some of the local landmarks, including the aviation museum.
Both sides agreed that the exercises were successful.
