NOVOROSSIISK, July 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was shown around the guided-missile cruiser Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, at the southern port of Novorossiisk on Tuesday.

The president is on a working visit to the Southern Federal District.

Commander Capt. 1st Rank Sergei Tronev gave the president a tour of the warship, explaining its basic specifications.
