I´m curious, how many stops they made or how many ports they visited? what speed where they moving at?

They left their base maybe two months ago, what were the doing?

The speed listed for the Peter The Great is 32 knots or something, maybe they should post the speed of the tug boats not mentioned in the articles..

Also being a Venezuelan i am very, i mean very happy that we´ll now have nuclear reactors to power our oil based economy.

It´s sad but thank God i don´t live there any more.
