Claim 5: “295th anniversary of the Pacific Fleet”
DISPUTED
There is a contradiction in the dates. Wikipedia and other sources state the fleet (Okhotsk Flotilla) was established in 1731. If established in 1731, the 295th anniversary would be in 2026. However, one web search result explicitly mentions May 21 as the 292nd anniversary, suggesting the current anniversary is not 295.
