Much attention was paid to the practice of escorting and protecting civilian naval vessels, including from UAVs, submarines and ships. The crews of the corvettes "Savvy" and "Boyky" launched an artillery strike on a naval target simulating an enemy surface vessel.

The Ka-27 and Ka-27M anti-submarine helicopters, based on corvettes, practiced the search, tracking and destruction of a simulated enemy submarine with training bombing, and the sailors of the BF trained to assist emergency vessels, eliminate fires, repair holes and tow damaged ships to ports.
