Defense: Russian nuclear powered battle cruiser set for Caribbean

Russian officials have said they will send a naval task force to the Caribbean later this year for possible joint exercises with Venezuela.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Andrei Nesterenk, says the nuclear-powered battle cruiser Peter the Great will lead the naval mission, which will also include the destroyer Admiral Chabanenko and other vessels including a fuel tanker. The spokesman said anti-submarine aircraft will also be sent to Venezuela, possibly in November.
