 Index of Russian Naval Ship Names
Please note that this is primarily intended to be a table of common ship names, and although some ship-specific information appears here, it is by no means intended to be a complete accounting of the Russian fleet.
At this stage the table should more or less reflect the vast number of ships that exited the Russian naval inventory through the last decade, but there are probably still holes here and there (and I would expect that many of the units marked "active" are for practical purposes out of service).
The impression that I have is that most fleet activity remains centered around a handful of key units, notably Burnyy, Admiral Panteleyev, and Admiral Vinogradov in the Pacific Fleet, and Neustrashimy and Petr Velikiy in the Baltic and Northern Fleets, respectively.
