On October 4-6, the popular SA Navy Festival is being held at the East Dockyard in Simon's Town after an absence of several years. The event features various South African naval vessels, as well as warships invited from partner countries such as Russia and China.
The Russian frigate Neustrashimy, part of the Baltic Fleet, was invited to participate in South Africa's
Navy Festival at the main naval base in Simon's Town.
The warship, accompanied by the replenishment vessel Akademik Pashin, took part in a naval parade on the roadstead and was open to visitors on Saturday, attracting a large crowd, according to a spokesman for the Russian Consulate General in Cape Town.
The frigate's presence attracted a lot of interest from visitors, including a visit from South Africa's navy chief, Vice Admiral Monde Lobese.
The South African Naval Festival has a relatively short history, starting in the early 2000s. It was initially a small event focused on showcasing the
capabilities of the South African Navy. Over time, it has evolved into a major international event, attracting visitors from around the globe.
The festival serves as a celebration of the Navy's achievements and a platform for promoting international cooperation and naval diplomacy. It also plays a role in boosting tourism in the Cape Town region.
