World Navies Today: Maritime Units of the Russian Border Guard
Forces
Revised 18 October 2001
Version 1.02
Compiled and Maintained by: Andrew Toppan
World Navies Today Main Page: http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/
This list includes all major units of the Maritime Units of the Border
Guard Forces: surface combatants, patrol ships and patrol craft over 100
tons displacement, and auxiliaries over 500 tons displacement.
Note: The former KGB Maritime Border Guard has been reorganized as
the Maritime Units of the [Russian] Border Guard Forces. The
organization is evolving to a coast guard-like role, rather than the
naval/coast-defense role of the old KGB Maritime Border Guard.
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 in Russia, 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 minimal or
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.
