Why is this letter written in uppercase in the article? It's not capitalized in the original Russian name: Черноморский флот (not Черноморский Флот). ЖдуВесны (talk) 05:25, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
It might be nice if we could narrow down whether this refers to the First Chechen War or the Second Chechen War. I couldn't figure it out myself fairly quickly & easily, after some minor Googling; but it could easily be that they've been active in both, which would account for my confusion. -- John Owens (talk) 21:18, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)

Zdrastuy! Information about the Black Sea Fleet in both Russian and English can be found at their official site, [1]. Information about the composition of the Ukrainian Navy, see World Navies Today. κаллэмакс 22:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Should Kara class cruiser Ochakov relly be in the active ship list? What I know the ship has been in modification for years and is no way near ready for active duty, and probably will be scrapped in a near future. Walle83 (talk) 20:12, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Could somebody please tell me what the Black Sea Fleet's uniforms for an admiral look liked in the late 1700's. I'm doing a report on John Paul Jones.
Can I ask what relevant does Ukrainian language play to the Russian military unit? We don't have German and Italian names for United States Air Forces in Europe, or in particular the lang-de for Ramstein or Spangdahlem. Nor do we have Japanese for United States Fleet Activities Yokosuka. Yet we do for Yokosuka itself. As for the argument it is located on Ukrainian territory, then at present the territory is leased from Ukraine, therefore until 2017 de facto the territory is not Ukrainian, and the Russian flag flies above it. Not in Ukraine therefore not under Ukrainian administartion therefore outside the influence of Ukrainian language. --Kuban Cossack 17:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Somebody changed this line at the Partition of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet section in this article, the line says: However, this immediately led to conflicts with the majority of officers who appeared to be loyal to Russia.Immediately sugest that they start fighting right away? And what was the nature of this conflict? Arguments? Fighting? Prank calls? This article is full with vague sentences. Like:However, recent local conflicts in the Caucasus region (particularly in Georgia) and the development of oil transit in the region are forcing Russia to support the fleet as much as possible. What kind of support is this? Acording to the article there is one ship there from 2001 and the youngest after that from 1991. That doesn't sound very suporty... And is Russia planing on bombing the coast of Georgia? Is this article written to intimidate Mikheil Saakashvili? I'm trying to learn from Wikipedia, not to get confused!

Should it be mentioned in the article? See: [2]. -- Mariah-Yulia (talk) 15:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Absolutely it should be mentioned.
Under "Recent Developments" the following sentences were added regarding the Russian presence in Tartus: "These reports appear totally without foundation. The Russian naval footprint in Tartus is extremely modest - one floating pier. Google Earth imagery shows that there is no vacant space in the port of Tartus for any naval expansion." The author does not cite any references for these statements, especially important considering the non-NPOV nature of the first sentence. My own examination of Tartus via Google Maps showed a large port complex in the north part of Tartus, so I was not able to verify the author's claim regarding GE imagery showing only a single floating pier and no vacant space for port expansion in Tartus - and in any case, I believe that use of GE and GM imagery in this way violates the Wikipedia no original research clause. Barring supply of references, I suggest these added sentences be stricken. -- Tagryn (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Some of article reads like an RT "news" report. Most prominently, the "Incidents with Ukraine" section, where it states certain court decisions were illegal with no objective explanation of why they were 'illegal' and who was saying so.
The whole "Following the 2014 Ukrainian revolution,when democratically elected president Yanukovich was ousted by a junta including far-right politicians sponsored by NATO countries, in March 2014, the Russian Federation, after a referendum where the overwhelming majority of the population voted in favor of re-joining Russia, (a part of which Crimea had been for centuries until Nikita Khrushchev´s dictatorial decree), accepted Crimea´s interim government petition to rejoin it" doesn't really scream neutrality, to me anyway. It sounds more like Russia's official political line. 142.196.225.209 (talk) 00:28, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
I made amendments to the history and order of battle sections of the article to bring it more up-to-date and focused on developments and events that have occurred since 2014 in relation to the Black Sea Fleet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.98.230 (talk) 13:12, 29 September 2020 (UTC) But the edits (including sourced material) have been deleted and the article is back to being completely out-of-date with bad grammar and disjointed references to events that occurred a decade ago.
This article and the Vasily Bykov article claim the ship was not sunk and was witnessed returning to Sebastopol. However, it is no longer listed in the section naming the ships in the Black Sea Fleet. This should be reconciled. If it is still unclear if the ship is or isn’t sunk, then I suggest listing it as possibly sunk similarly to how the transport ships are noted to be possibly destroyed or damaged. 500Afs (talk) 01:11, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
The Telegraph says the recently killed Anton Kuprin is the commander. Ukrainian officials have claimed that no one was able to be rescued and that among the dead are the ship's captain, commander of the Black Sea Fleet Anton Kuprin.

THe Moskva isn't listed as lost.
Was it not deployed to the Black Sea fleet? Also would a section of losses be appropriate?
--Patbahn (talk) 17:15, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
A lot of "news" additions are made to this article about ships that have their own article - disputed claims, possible events, etc. E.g., many "Raptor" class vessels have an identical comment about 3 Raptors (which ones not stated) reported attacked. Admiral Makarov damaged (Ukraine), not damaged (Russia), actually not damaged, error (Ukraine). I would suggest that these additions are not needed, if anywhere they belong in the (linked) ship article until there is firm news without the fog of war, then a brief "damaged" or "sunk" where appropriate.

Slightly wary of including this as 'no official confirmation' is part of the text - https://news.yahoo.com/russian-assault-ship-hits-mine-133500731.html and here also https://en.thepage.ua/news/landing-craft-akula-blown-up-by-mine - quotes Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko Thelisteninghand (talk) 16:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Title explains it all. Someone with the knowledge and editor rights should change it. Right now is kind of confusing when you try to read the article.
Thanks and have a good day. 92.190.95.135 (talk) 02:18, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia should be neutral, according to who was the crimean annexation illegal?? The west?? 45.239.136.171 (talk) 18:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Correct, saying it is legal or illegal is a conclusion and Wikipedia cannot make conclusions, but cite the conclusions of others. The best we can say is that the UN voted, and Ukraine, has voted to declare it illegal. Harizotoh9 (talk) 10:27, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
The sourced article, whether Business Insider or Newsweek, does not claim that all Russian missile carrier capability in the Black Sea has been destroyed; rather, it claims Ukrainian Navy spokespersons have claimed this. The article should be revised as such, as the article, as it is currently written, is highly misleading. It is true that a number of outlets have repeated the claim, but in all cases they simply report on Ukrainian Navy claims rather than state is as fact. If the claim is to be included, it should be qualified accurately. Avrw3eavre (talk) 04:33, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
As many of you will know, the Russian Black Sea Fleet recently retreated from their bases in Crimea, moving to the coast of occupied Georgia(Abkhazia more specifically). Would we be able to update the overview(overall description of the fleet) and history of the fleet's pages with this very significant event and information? There are plenty of reliable sources currently and more should emerge over time. So, would we be able to update the article with this? CrazyFruitBat911 (talk) 19:12, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

There is a sentence at the end of the introduction that should be deleted. It reads: "It is now highly likely that Ukraine has destroyed all of the Black Sea Fleet's missile carrier capability based in Crimea".
Clearly that's incorrect.
As it relates to Kalibr LACMs, the BSF still has the following "missile carriers" capable of conducting strikes, with some just recently doing that: 3x Admiral Grigorovich class frigates, 4x Improved Kilo-class submarines in service (not counting the Rostov, etc), 3x Karakurt class corvettes, amd 3x Buyan-M class corvettes.
Additionally, the preceding sentence should be deleted where Ukraine "claims" to have eliminated 1/3rd of the BSF.
This page needs to be balanced and not favoring propaganda of either Russia or Ukraine. Independent source material with no ties to either nation need to be relied upon. Abaker2024 (talk) 13:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
I am very disappointed that for whatever reason, there is a seeming obsession with the Russian Navy wiki pages, in particular the Black Sea Fleet page, for reporting Ukrainian claims as if they're gospel. If it's not pro-Ukraine, no edits are approved. Why is this being allowed to continue? Regardless of whether you support Ukraine or Russia, regardless of your politics, this page should be neutral and provide only facts. It does not. It reports hymn and verse claims by Ukraine that are often times unverifiable or later turn out to be false. Even when they are false, attempts to change the false information on this page is denied.
For example: another addition to the opening paragraph of this page makes a definitive claim that Ukraine "sunk" a Kilo class submarine. There is zero corroborating evidence that this happened. Not a thing. But Ukraine, like Russia, make claims like this all the time. Until we have credible proof that this happened, it should not be allowed. This double standard is a bias which is unacceptable. Edits I've proposed to put things in context are denied because they do not have "reliable sources", yet unsubstantiated claims by Ukraine are posted as if God himself could not challenge the assertions.
We need new administrators managing this page. We need fair and balanced editing so people TRUST the information on this page. Abaker2024 (talk) 15:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Opening paragraph needs to contain language that Ukraine claims it sunk a Kilo class submarine. This claim has been repeated in various news stories. However, there is no corroborating evidence of any kind this is true. Abaker2024 (talk) 14:36, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
