	Soviet Navy - Biocrawler
		The Soviet Navy (Russian: Военно-морской флот СССР, Voyenno-morskoy flot SSSR, literally "Naval military forces of the USSR") was the naval arm of the Soviet armed forces.
		A telling indicator of the perceived threat of the Navy was that the Soviets were not invited to participate in the Washington Naval Treaty, which served to cap size and capabilities of the most powerful navies.
		After the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Navy went neglected once again, and was eventually divided among several former Soviet republics.

		A telling indicator of the perceived threat of the Navy was that the Soviets were not invited to participate in the Washington Naval Treaty, which served to limit the size and capabilities of the most powerful navies.
		The Soviet Navy generally placed less importance on aircraft carriers than their American rivals, however, it was felt that a carrier force of some form was needed.
		The Soviet attack submarine force was, like the rest of the navy, geared towards the interception of NATO convoys, but also targeted American aircraft carrier battle groups.

		The Soviet Navy was formed in 1917 out of the remnants of the Imperial Russian Navy.

		Soviet submarine Ð-21 under the command of a Captain Lunin attacked the German battleship Tirpitz at 71Â° 22' 2"N, 24Â° 34' 3"E. Results of that attack is discussed, as no German sources confirm damage of Tirpitz of any other ship, but in Ð-21 logbook two torpedo-burst was mentioned.

	The First Soviet Giants (Site not responding. Last check: )
		According to the official Soviet submarine design history, from the beginning of the project the major complexity was not with the underwater barge itself, but with towing it by a submarine.
		In 1956, the Soviet Navy's leadership endorsed a TTE for a large minelayer capable of carrying up to 100 of the new PLT-6 mines and transporting 160 tons of aviation fuel (gasoline or kerosene) in fuel-ballast tanks.
		In July the Navy and the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry added to the TTE the requirement for "the rescue of the crews of sunken submarines with the aid of rescue apparatus." This change led to revised specifications, which were not formally approved until February 1970.

		The boat was considered to match the requirements of Soviet shipbuilding program partially, so, Deschimag had to work out the corrected project.
		In May 1933 seven leading Soviet naval designers and engineers made a business-trip to Bremen and Karhatena to perform sea tests of E-1 and work on suitable approach to further changes of E-1 project for german engineers taking in mind exact tecnical requirements of USSR navy.

	Soviet Submarines

	Colloquium on Contemporary History, Seminar 10
		Thus, Soviet strategists debated whether their strategy should be based upon the possibility of a nuclear, a conventional, or a war employing both elements.
		By the end of this period, the Soviets decided that all forces, including the navy, had to be prepared to fight in either nuclear or conventional wars, or both.
		From a purely quantitative standpoint, the shift in importance of the navy to Soviet military strategy in this period was apparent from the relative explosion in the number of articles on strategy that discussed the navy: eight--more than half the total written in this period.

	The Soviet Navy 1988-1991
		The most noticeable of all the Soviet construction projects of the era were its three modern aircraft carriers.
		When this occurred, it was the first time in 30 years that the Soviet navy construction yards would be empty of cruisers and shifted instead to civilian business.
		Soviet naval aviation underwent several changes as the fleet began moving away from the traditional land-based bomber-centered force of earlier times to a force that was based on fighters and fighter-bombers operating both on land and at sea.

	Navy says sinking of the Scorpion was an accident; revelations suggest a darker scenario (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The court described the Soviet presence as an undefined "hydro-acoustic" research operation involving two research vessels and a submarine rescue ship among others, implying the Soviets were merely engaging in research on oceanographic studies of sound effects in the ocean rather than a military mission.
		The Navy said in 1968 that Schade sent a message to the Scorpion on May 20 assigning the sub a course and speed for its homeward trip once the surveillance mission ended.
		One Navy officer at a key location in 1968 has contradicted the account the Navy gave that year that the submarine was nowhere near the Soviets at the time it was lost.

	The Soviet Navy in the Great Patriotic War Military Thought - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In prewar years, the fleet command was clearly aware that the Navy's organizational development should be based on views on its role and place in the system of the state's Armed Forces, on its tasks in naval warfare, and on the tasking designation of its component services, as determined by the national leadership.
		In turn, it was possible to determine the navy's quantitative and qualitative composition at the building stage only on the basis of a deep-going scientific analysis of the tasks set and all the prerequisites objectively influencing the construction trend.
		Before the Great Patriotic War, the theory of Soviet military strategy said that both independent operations and operations in coordination with the land forces might be required for the navy to perform tasks assigned to it in each naval theater of operations in accordance with the general war plan.

	THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM
		Soviet capability in space became clear to the world in October 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite.
		Since all the early satellites and lunar probes were launched on converted intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Soviet advantage underlined fears in the US that a "missile gap" existed between it and its Cold War enemy, an issue that Kennedy exploited to his advantage in the 1960 presidential campaign.
		Although the future course of the Soviet space program was unclear when the Soyuz was conceived in 1959-62 (space stations, lunar missions or even a manned flight around Mars were considered), it was generally agreed on that rendezvous and docking would play a major role.

		Four Soviet long-range diesel submarines (of a type known to NATO as the Foxtrot class and to the Soviet Navy as “project 641”) under the command of Captain First Rank Vitalii Agafonov—each carrying twenty-two conventional torpedoes and one nuclear-tipped weapon—left the Northern Fleet on 1 October for a new base in Havana.
		Furthermore, the Soviets were undoubtedly shocked at the rapid losses of Soviet-supplied tanks and at the failure of the Syrian army (trained by Soviet advisers) to mount a substantial challenge to Jordanian forces.
		The Soviet airlift to the Middle East had ceased, suggesting that the military transports (notably the An-22, the largest Soviet transport plane) were being relieved to ferry the airborne troops.

	From the Sea to the Stars: Chapter 3
		The Soviet Navy began to use navigation satellites in 1970, in consonance with their breakout from a strictly defensive role to become a worldwide naval power.
		Soviet satellites represented a major threat to the U.S. Navy and prudent measures should be undertaken to counter any tactical advantages the Soviets had gained by using space systems.
		The Navy was concerned, with good reason, that if funding for the NAVSTAR constellation was reduced the Air Force would position the satellite's to emphasize strategic coverage of the western hemisphere and perhaps Europe or Korea, rather than the ocean areas where the Navy operates.

	India's 12 Steps to a World Class Navy
		This is the weakest long-term outcome because it relegates the Navy to an adjunct to the Army and Air Force in India's continuing nuclear arms race with Pakistan.
		This Indian Navy seeks to supplant the U.S. Navy as the region's sea-based Leviathan, not so much because it wants the United States out, but because India believes this is an appropriate regional security role for it to fill as its economy emerges.
		This is the most ambitious navy, for it assumes two key developments: (1) a lessening of the land-based rivalries with Pakistan and China; and (2) a far bigger share of the Indian defense budget going to the navy, which now receives around 15%.
