Notes
The twenty Project-14 "Khitriy" submarines (L-1 through L-20) are scrapped due to age, with the impending arrival of Project 86 "Kosatki" and Project 78 "Barrakuda" class submarines.

The four Varyag-class escort cruisers are retired and begin scrapping. Although these ships are relatively modern, their capability for additional electronics was limited, and the ships no longer fit the overall Russian Federation Navy's strategy.

Q3/1948 Notable Ship Movements of the VMF Rossii
A general overview of the major exercises and operations being undertaken during Q3/1948 by the VMF Rossii. This list is not exhaustive. I reserve the right to make changes as necessary based on ongoing in-game activities.

Baltic Fleet
-- Operational Exercise of Special Designation Pioner (Pioneer): 13th Destroyer Flotilla (Special Assignments Command) under P. Kozyukhin participating in extended multinational naval exercise with German Navy in Baltic Sea. Large Rocket Ship Admiral Kolchak (Morozov) joins Pioner effective April 30th. (Exercise Ongoing)
-- Operation Pegas (Pegasus): 13th Destroyer Flotilla (Special Assignments Command) under P. Kozyukhin and Admiral Kolchak under F. Morozov participate in international exercise with elements of the French and German navies.
-- Exercise Mekhanizm: Baltic Fleet under V. Tributs conducts six-stage readiness maneuvers in the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea.
-- Exercise Katolik: Baltic Fleet submarine force exercises between Gotland and Ösel Island.
-- All icebreakers are docked for seasonal maintenance and upkeep.

Black Sea Fleet
-- Exercise Gideon-3: OG Pluton under F. Oktyabrsky conducts sea training across July, August, and September, totalling 37 days at sea.
-- Operation Iyeffay: OG Nika under S. Gorshkov (6th and 12th Cruiser Squadrons) cruises to Varna (Bulgaria), Athens (Greece), Chania (Greece), Syracuse (Italy), and Bizerte (French Tunisia). Not all ships make all port calls. OG Nika conducts at-sea training en route and during return voyage. Task force returns to Sevastopol on September 15th after accruing 45 days at sea.

Northern Fleet
-- Exercise Rubin-4: OG Jove under G. Levchenko conducts cruise and exercise beginning July 18th, simulating a carrier battle in the western Barents Sea.
-- Exercise Rubin-5: OG Mars under N. Sergeyev conducts cruise and exercise beginning August 5th with maneuvers in the Norwegian Sea (SW of Svalbard). 2nd Cruiser Squadron, part of OG Mars, does not return home after the completion of the exercise but begins Exercise Rubin-7.
-- Exercise Rubin-6: OG Merkuriy under A. Golovko conducts exercises in the Barents Sea beginning September 1st, simulating a force intrusion aimed at the Russian coast.
