The dude running the Bosphorus Naval News blog is getting lazy. He hasn't posted that yet.
Wonder if this is a scheduled deployment? According to the Montruex Convention, a non Black Sea country needs to give the Turkish government 15 days notice before passing through the Turkish Straights. US ships were sailing the Black Sea during the Olympics to provide a security presense.
