This list includes all major fleet support auxiliaries: replenishment ships, tenders, salvage

ships, and seagoing tugs.

Ships not yet commissioned, or in long-term overhaul/conversion, are listed in italics.

Navigation and surface-search radars are not listed. All classifications are purely

unofficial and are based on an attempt to use standard classifications throughout all

navies; they may or may not correspond to "official" designations.

State of the Russian Fleet: Due to continued political, economic and societal chaos inRussia, the Fleet is in a badly deteriorated state. Even those ships that remain in

commission and theoretically operational are generally unable to deploy, due to lack of

trained crews and lack of funds to buy fuel and stores. In general maintenance is minimalor nonexistent, and there are no funds to conduct much-needed overhauls, even for major

fleet units. Many ships have been abandoned when repairs or refits came due.

This list identifies those units believed to remain operational, but most of these units are

unable to deploy for the reasons cited above. Ships in refit are listed only when there is a

reasonable chance of them returning to service. Ships laid up pending refit generally are

listed, as they could return to service if funding became available.

Many ships, especially auxiliaries, have been operating in commercial or charter freight

or passenger service to raise operating funds. These are listed as active units, as they

could rapidly return to naval roles if required.

Fleets: The following abbreviations are used to indicate fleet assignements:

NOR: Northern Fleet, headquarters at Severomorsk.PAC: Pacific Fleet, headquarters at Vladivostok.

BLK: Black Sea Fleet, headquarters at Sevastopol.

BALT: Baltic Sea Fleet, headquarters at Kaliningrad.

CASP: Caspian Flotilla.

RIV: Units assigned to service on inland rivers.
