		The post-Soviet reforms that have downgraded the status of the Pacific Fleet (relative to the Northern Fleet) have arguably upgraded the relative importance of Kamchatka Oblast facilities (within the Pacific Fleet).
		At the same time, however, Kamchatka Peninsula facilities have shared the fate of other Pacific Fleet facilities in having to deal with large backlogs of decommissioned nuclear submarines and an overflow of liquid nuclear waste and spent fuel.
		Due to the lack of rail or road links from Kamchatka to the trans-Siberian railroad, submarine fuel, spare parts, weapons, and other equipment must be delivered to these facilities by ship during the summer and early fall.
