The small and completely uneventful city of Bodø, Norway has been visitted by the Russian navy. Check this link for further info: http://translate.google.no/translate?sl ... ce&act=url

I was able to get some good shots of an Udaloy class destroyer and the Norwegian frigate "KNM Fridtjof Nansen" as they lay berthed in Bodø. Tomorrow the two ships are open to visitors. To bad I won`t be there. This is the first time I`ve seen a Russian warship with my own eyes. When I heard that a Russian ship lay berthed I expected something like a Burevestnik class or a Neustrashimy class. Deep down, I had a hope that it would be a Kirov or a Slava class.

Awesome! I seems to be a Udaloyd II -class

Yep, the one and only in fact. Here you can clearly see the size differance between a frigate and a destroyer.

Ah I see the Fridtjof Nansen have got the NSM canister now, and it differ a bit from that one I had Intel about. soo I have to redesign it now!

Nice shots, Chappayenko seems to similar "tourist" for the Northern Fleet as Nastoychivyy is for the Baltic Fleet. Good contrast for the hull colors as well... someday Ill figure out what shade to use it for the SB drawings

Just read that yesterday, may 17th. About 1000 people were standing in line to get the tour aboard the Chabanenko. Too bad I wasn`t one of them.
