And will be able to use their new torpedoes among other weapons.
Gunboat diplomacy. It's what made Putin blink.

Turkish authorities have given permission to a U.S. Navy warship to pass
through the Bosphorus within the next two days as fears grow that the
standoff between Russia and Ukraine and the West over Crimea could soon
become militarized.
Turkish sources, speaking with the Hürriyet Daily News on March 5, declined
to elaborate on the name of the U.S. warship. The same officials, speaking
on condition of anonymity, however, noted that it was not the USS George
H.W. Bush nuclear aircraft carrier as suggested in some news reports, as it
did not meet the standards specified by the 1936 Montreux Convention in
terms of weight.
The U.S. Navy ship to pass through the straits will conform to the
convention's standards, the sources said.
According to the Montreux Convention, the total weight of military ships
that non-littoral states to the Black Sea may deploy to the body of water
cannot exceed 45,000 tons.
