Activated 14.6.67 in Sevastopol, Crimean Oblast.
Also known as the Mediterranean squadron – any ship operating in the Mediterranean, automatically came under the 5th Operational Squadron.
Did not have any units permanently attached, and was divided into six task forces and a group of support ships:
Task Force 50 – flagship (usually the cruiser “Zhdanov”) and its escorts
Task Force 51 – submarines (usually six to eight submarines)
Task Force 52 – missile ships
Task Force 53 – anti-submarine warfare ships
Task Force 54 – landing ships
Task Force 55 – escorts
As only few harbours in the Mediterranean were available for logistic support (Port Said in Egypt to 1972, Tartus and Latakia in Syria), the squadron would use so-called low water anchor points (anchorages), where ships could be based for extended periods and could be resupplied from naval and civilian auxiliaries. Several anchorages were available:
Point 3 (Hammamet anchorage) off the Tunisian coast – mainly used by flagships and staff, as well as submarines arriving from the Northern Fleet
Point 52 (North of Sollum anchorage) – mainly used by surface ships from the Northern Fleet, Baltic Fleet and Black Sea Fleet
Point 10 (Lemnos anchorage) – mainly used by scout ships
Point 70 (Riviera anchorage) between Italy and France
Alboran Island anchorage
Kithira anchorage – extensive use for ships moving to and from the Black Sea
East of Crete anchorage
Northeast of Cyprus anchorage
All anchor point were also used for intelligence gathering and monitoring shipping in the Mediterranean.
