One of the episodes of this process was the story of "SKR-112" – effectively the first Ukrainian Navy ship. On 20 July 1992, the crew of "SKR-112" declared itself a Ukrainian ship and raised the Ukrainian flag. The Navy headquarters in Moscow considered this a mutiny and attempted to act accordingly. The ship left its base on the Crimean peninsula bound for Odessa, causing a chase and ramming attempts by ships still loyal to Moscow. Soon several other ships, auxiliary vessels, and coastal units of the Black Sea Fleet followed "SKR-112"s decision but with less violent outcomes.
