If their Northern Fleet’s flagship is a destroyer, well, that’s just sad.

The US Seventh Fleet's command ship looks like a transport freighter that carries around a bunch of antennae.

Heck, I think it IS a freighter carrying around antennae.

Probably just the ‘flagship’ of the battlegroup. This article reads like a bad translation. 250 marines embarked? Uh, I think they mean sailors? But a lot of translators use the term ‘marines’ when that has a very specific definition in the English language.

My young cousin got a good look at the Baltic Fleet in port a couple of years ago during a Fleet visit and, well, that's what he said.
