The Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and its accompanying contingent of seven ships is understood to be sailing for the Syrian coast to take part in the assault on Aleppo. Separately, two Russian ships are heading north from Portugal to join up with the taskforce.

Think so, they are probably staying in a 'smooth' part of the Atlantic tracking the storm mentioned by the Guardian moving NE. They should be able to handle the Atlantic, ships that size did in WW2. Just need a few sick bagsPapaDragon wrote:JohninMK wrote:From the Guardian paper.
