Their performance was poor, they had no concern for thse that they commanded. The Baltic Fleet removals are a wake up call to the rest of the Russian naval Fleets. get your act together or you too could be out of the Russia navy and lose your gravy train

The last paragraph of the article, at the link, explains it very well.The fourth sentence in the fifth paragraph also contains a very important message that all homeowners born between 1958 and 1969 should read!
