The Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces said the Russian missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the nuclear sub Kazan, the oil tanker Pashin and the salvage tug Nikolai Chiker will arrive on June 12 and stay for a week. “While we are disappointed that Cuba has likely agreed to host visiting Russian ships, we are not surprised,” the official said Thursday. “We are not surprised by it given Russia’s long history of Cuban port calls,” the official said. They will also visit places of historical and cultural interest.”According to the U.S. Navy Institute, Russian submarines have been visiting Cuban ports since 1969. The Russian navy’s training class ship Perekop sailed into Havana in July last year.
