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, andauxiliaries over 500 tons displacement.

Note: The former KGB Maritime Border Guard has been reorganized as the MaritimeUnits of the [Russian] Border Guard Forces. The organization is evolving to a coastguard-like role, rather than the naval/coast-defense role of the old KGB Maritime BorderGuard.

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 purelyunofficial and are based on an attempt to use standard classifications throughout allnavies; they may or may not correspond to "official" designations.

State of the Russian Fleet: Due to continued political, economic and societal chaos inRussia, the Fleet is in a badly deteriorated state. Even those ships that remain incommission and theoretically operational are generally unable to deploy, due to lack oftrained crews and lack of funds to buy fuel and stores. In general maintenance is minimalor nonexistent, and there are no funds to conduct much-needed overhauls, even for majorfleet 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 areunable to deploy for the reasons cited above. Ships in refit are listed only when there is areasonable chance of them returning to service. Ships laid up pending refit generally arelisted, as they could return to service if funding became available.

Many ships, especially auxiliaries, have been operating in commercial or charter freightor passenger service to raise operating funds. These are listed as active units, as theycould 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.
