USSR-Cuba: Augmented Joint Naval Exercises
Cuban participation in joint exercises with the Soviet task
force in the Caribbean yesterday increased. A Cuban ASW frigate
and a landing ship left Havana and rendezvoused with the
Leningrad helicopter carrier, a Soviet destroyer and another
Cuban frigate some 60 miles northeast of Havana.
Comment: This is the twelfth Soviet task group to operate
in the Gulf of Mexico, but it is the first time it has been
accompanied by a Cuban warship. Joint exercises probably will
continue for several days in areas near Cuba. Earlier this week,
the Soviet task group and the Cuban frigate conducted ASW
operations some 200 miles off the Louisiana coast.
