The country’s Russian naval visitors formally left Pier 15, Manila South Harbor with the Philippine Navy (PN) providing the traditional “passing exercise” (PASSEX) Saturday morning.
The Russian ships, the Udaloy-class large anti-submarine vessel/destroyer Admiral Tributs and naval tanker Boris Botuma, left the above-mentioned port facility around 9:00 a.m., PN spokesperson Capt. Lued Lincuna said in a message to the PNA.
PASSEX was provided to the Admiral Tributs as it was steaming in Manila Bay, he added.

The PASSEX is part of the send-off ceremonies where visiting naval ships are given honors.
