From memory, it's been discussed before a while back. I think the consensus was it was stripped of supplies fairly early on, and then pasted by the Soviets in late 1997.

Not at all. There's plenty of ports in the area the ships can dock at and take on fuel, food, ammo, etc. It's not like they're operating over huge distances far away from their fuel supplies.
Also, just because the ships are there, do they really have to be at sea? Doesn't it make more sense given the limited irreplaceable ammunition and crews, for them to only put to sea when actually
needed?
