Extension On Kotlin Island
New shipyards especially dedicated to the building of two Mistral class ships for the Russian navy will be set up on Kotlin Island, as part of a deal signed in December between France and Russia. They will be part of the Admiralty Shipyards company and could start building Mistral ships after 2014. They will be used later to construct commercial bulk ships and large combat ships.

Famous quotes containing the words extension and/or island:
“Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
