MURMANSK, October 7. /TASS/. Northern Fleet submarine chaser-destroyer Vice-Admiral Kulakov is bound for simulated action against attack by weapons of mass destruction in the eastern Mediterranean.

The vessel has left Limassol port in Cyprus for a series of naval drills in air- and anti-submarine defense, fleet spokesman Vadim Serga said.

The ship voyaged more than 14,000 nautical miles from April. From May to August, Kulakov was flagship of the Russian Mediterranean Task Force.
