An undated aerial photo made available by Britain's Ministry of Defence, Thursday, May 8, 2014 showing HMS Dragon, foreground, with the Russian aircraft carrier 'Admiral Kuznetsov' in the English Channel.

The navy says that once the ships spotted each other they “sailed close by as a standard ‘meet and greet.’ ’’ (AP Photo/Ministry of Defence)
