Little Green River Cruises ?
...
From Astrakhan up the Volga to Volgograd, along the Volga-Don Canal, down the Lower Don to Rostov and the Sea of Azov.
Max draft for the canal is 12 ft - length 460ft - beam 55 ft.
Should be plenty deep enough for the shallow draft corvettes, landing craft, river monitors, artillery gun boats, Dinassauts or whathaveyou, of the Caspian Flotilla to join the party. The Buyan class 'corvettes' (draft 8 ft) could shoot their Kalibr missiles without leaving home pond if they wanted. They did it before.
Plus - In less than ten days, you could move the whole of the St Petersburg National Guard Division on a free river cruise, to view the wonderful cathedrals of Ukraine.
I hope the two Arleigh Burkes got their underwater ears on. The Kilos will be waiting to show them the way.
