The Royal Navy frigate HMS Sutherland is escorting two Russian warships which are sailing through the English Channel this weekend. The Type 23 frigate located the two Russian ships in the early hours of Friday morning [14 Apr 17] as they sailed through the North Sea towards the Dover Straits. The Steregushchiy-class corvettes, Soobrazitelny and Boiky, were joined later in the
afternoon by a Russian support tanker and an ocean-going tug.
