	History of Kotlas
		The population was sparse, and the soil was poor — partly loam and clay and partly sand.
		With the opening of the navigation season in 1918, an active transfer of military equipment from Archangel via the Northern Dvina to Kotlas began, as the threat of the seizure of Archangel had grown due to the landing of the first forces of the interventionists in the region of Murmansk [in March 1918].
		As the fleet of the Northern Dvina wore out and ceased to be able to handle the cargo, construction began in Limenda of a boat-building and repair yard.

		The Soviet Navy was divided into several major fleets Northern Fleet, the Pacific Ocean Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet, and the Baltic Fleet.
		The Caspian Flotilla was a semi-independent formation administratively under the Black Sea Fleet command while the Soviet Indian Ocean Squadron drew its units from and was under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Ocean Fleet.
		Unfortunately for the Soviets, much of their fleet on the Baltic Sea was blocked in Leningrad and Kronstadt by Finnish and German minefields during 1941â“1944 and heavily maimed by mines and air attacks.

		Eighty-eight of them belong to the Northern Fleet; fifty-two still carry nuclear fuel in the reactors.[459] Fifteen reactor compartments have been removed from the hulls and have been prepared for storage.
		A new decommissioning dock for the Northern Fleet is under construction in Kherson, Ukraine, but delivery has been postponed by non-payment of the 8 million USD bill.[475] The safety of the mooring areas for decommissioned submarines today is considered unsatisfactory.
		The Northern Fleet Supreme Commander, Admiral Oleg Yerofeev, has stated that the level of safety at these sites is steadily deteriorating, and that there is a real danger of radioactivity being released from laid up submarines because they can sink.

		The Northern Fleet's primary function is to defend Russia from the northwestern zone.
		Among the numerous naval facilities based in the Northern Fleet, three facilities are directly involved in the dismantlement of nuclear submarines: the Nerpa Shipyard, Sevmash, and Zvezdochka.[6] In order to comply with the provisions of START I, decommissioned submarines are cut in half to remove their missiles.
		The growth of the Northern Fleet in the years leading to the end of the Cold War resulted in the operation of almost 200 nuclear-powered submarines in the Northern Fleet.

	Russia, Putin and Navy
		The public was enraged by the incompetence and untruthfulness of the naval authorities and, first of all, the Northern Fleet command.
		The navy, especially the Northern Fleet (with more than half of all Russian warships and over 90 percent of the new ones), has only the United States and other NATO navies to confront in the Atlantic.
		Popov, Motsak and 12 other high-ranking naval officials were ousted or demoted last week for "serious failures" in maintaning the fleet, for mismanagement of the exercise in which the Kursk sank and the organization of the subsequent rescue operation.

	The Situation In The Norwegian Sea Today
		For that reason the strategic submarines of the Northern Fleet had to pass through the Norwegian Sea and the GIUK-gap to reach launching positions in the western part of the Atlantic to strike the continental United States.
		Control and surveillance of the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea, and the Polar Sea is coordinated with corresponding activities from Kjeflavik and Scotland.
		Based on the estimates derived from last years exercises and the Northern Fleet's increased capacity from its new ships, early control of the Norwegian Sea appears to be the most likely objective of the Soviet Union in any conflict with NATO.

		A result of the division of the Black Sea Fleet between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, armaments and equipment of the Coastal Defence Forces and Naval Infantry assigned to the Russian Federation were subject to withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine.
		When Ukraine demanded the division of the Black Sea Fleet, Russia was forced to begin construction of a new naval base near Novorossiysk, since some 80 to 90 percent of the Black Sea Fleet of the former USSR was deployed in Sevastopol.

		Kvashnin and Kuroyedov were then dispatched immediately to the Northern Fleet headquarters, where they reportedly presented Putin's decisions to the fleet's commanders during a closed door meeting that lasted nearly three hours.
		Putin launched his housecleaning of the Northern Fleet naval command despite the fact that Ustinov's investigation had produced what Russian sources indicated was only a preliminary report on the circumstances surrounding the Kursk's demise.
		The sub will be the most advanced in the Russian fleet (the Kursk previously held that honor), and Putin's decision to attend the commissioning ceremony is presumably aimed at mending some wounds with a naval leadership that will no doubt still be smarting over the Kremlin's weekend actions (Strana.ru, November 28, December 3).

		Pursuant to a presidential decree, the city of Severomorsk is now a "closed administrative-territorial district." The reasons given for sealing off the city, which is home to Northern Fleet headquarters and is a naval shipbuilding center, were to "create a reliable security zone" for the naval facilities there while "ensuring ecological safety" for the population.
		The Black Sea Fleet will be organized into a western group (based at Sevastopol) and an eastern group (based on the Russian Caucasian coast); its projected strength is about 100 warships and 30,000 personnel.
		The status of the Black Sea Fleet continues to be unresolved between Russia and Ukraine, and its ships do not fly the flags of one nation or the other.

		Andreeva Bay is the primary spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste storage facility for the Northern Fleet.
		The administration center for the Northern Fleet is in Severomorsk, near Murmansk, which bases several naval surface warships, including two nuclear-powered vessels.

	GRAVEYARD OF RUSSIA'S NORTHERN FLEET IS A NUCLEAR TIME BOMB
		Anchored in the area's harbors is Russia's Northern Fleet - at least 70 idle nuclear-powered submarines, with reactors on board, fuel intact.
		The Northern Fleet owes money to the electric company - so much that twice in September 1995 power briefly was cut off to the navy, an extraordinarily dangerous act since the cooling of the submarine reactors that keeps them relatively safe is dependent on the electricity supply.
		The fleet got the power turned on again when it sent armed guards to the electric company's premises.
