Severomorsk, a Closed Administrational and Territorial District (ZATO - zakrytye administrativno-territorial'nye obrazovaniia), headquarters and homeport of Russia's largest naval force (Northern Fleet) is located along the northern edge of the Kola Peninsula. The area is also a weapons handling facility. This coastline, which is ice-free all year due to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, provides the Northern Fleet unrestricted access to open water.
