The US Navy's newest base is now in Poland! The first crew members have moved into their accommodation and facilities.

Addendum from 30.01.2022: Russia has withdrawn the notification of the firing project in the Irish EEZ - the exercises are now to take place outside the Irish area of interest. For more details see further "News" on Russian naval movements on this page.

Amphibious group Three amphibious landing ships of the Baltic Fleet (Ropucha class, project 775) have been moving towards the Mediterranean for a week and have passed the English Channel. Two further Ropuchas and a large landing ship of the Ivan Gren class (Project 11711) of the Northern Fleet have left their bases and were only able to reach the North Sea and continue southwards after a delay due to weather conditions. Russia has announced that the ships' movements are allegedly aimed at naval manoeuvres in the Mediterranean that have already been announced for a long time. However, it is not clear whether these not insignificant landing capacities will ultimately march through to the Black Sea off the coast of Ukraine. Varyag surface combat group In the Gulf of...

The mid-life upgrades of the South African Navy's frigates and submarines are currently on hold due to a lack of funds. There will be no upgrades to the frigates until at least 2033 and to the submarines until 2035....
