The Russian Navy said one of its warships will sail across the Panama Canal after joint maneuvers with the Venezuelan navy, AP reported. Navy spokesman Capt. Igor Dygalo said the Admiral Chabanenko destroyer will arrive Friday at the Rodman naval base in Panama's port of Balboa for a six-day visit. Dygalo said Wednesday it would be the first time since World War II that a Soviet or Russian military vessel crossed the canal.
