World Navies Today: Russian Littoral Warfare Ships
Revised 18 October 2001
Version 1.05
Compiled and Maintained by: Andrew Toppan
World Navies Today Main Page: http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/
This list includes all littoral warfare ships: patrol craft and mine
warfare vessels over 100 tons displacement, and amphibious ships over 500
tons displacement.
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.

[Back To Top]
Discarded Classes: All 'Yurka' class fleet minesweepers
have been discarded, except one unit may survive in the Caspian Sea,
mainly as a patrol ship. Probably will soon be discarded, if not already
stricken. No T-43 class minesweepers survive in a mine countermeasures
role, but some survive as auxiliaries. All 'Zhenya' class coastal
minesweepers were lost or discarded 1989-1992. All 'Vanya' class ships
were discarded by 1997.
Reserve Classes: The large mine warfare trials/support ship
Barentsevo More is in reserve.
Note: There are also numerous inshore minesweepers, most of which
are probably employed mostly for local patrol, and will likely decline in
numbers quite rapidly. Those known to be in existence in include 9
'Lida'/Sapfir class (135 tons FL, all in the Baltic, design
considered a failure), 12 'Yevgenya'/Korund class (97.9 tons FL,
built 1970-1976, survivors of 49 and being discarded), 3
'Olya'/Almaz class (66 tons, all in the Baltic, in poor condition).
All K-8 class harbor minesweepers and TR-40 riverine minesweepers had been
discarded by 1995.
Note: There are also several drone minesweepers, including 1
'Tolya' class and 4 'Tanya' class. All 'Andryusha' and 'Ilyusha'
class drones have been discraded.
