Guard Missile Cruiser Moskva (as of 2007 flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, No.121, built in 1983)

Large ASW Destroyer Kerch (No.713, built in 1974)

Large ASW Destroyer Smetlivy (No.810, built in 1966)

Large Landing Ship Nikolay Filchenkov (No.152, built in 1975)

Large Landing Ship Saratov (No.150, built in 1966)

Large Landing Ship Novocherkassk (No.142)

Thats pretty much it for the black sea fleet. One cruiser and two destroyers. And the cruiser Moskva was reported to have taken some damage by the Georgian Navy and was last seen limping into Sevastopol harbor which is where that picture was taken.

Which makes it very interesting, for the Russians especially, that NATO is sending a C&C ship (USS Mt. Whitney), A frigate (USS McFaul), a Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC Dallas), which is a frigate in all but name, a Spanish Ageis frigate (Juan de Bourbon, F102 ), a German frigate (FGS Luebeck, F 214), and a Polish O.H. Perry Class Frigate (ORP General K Pulaski ). For starters.

Have to watch the Poles, and maybe the Germans too, depending on how much of Her crew are from the East, their trigger fingers might get itchey when they see a Russian flag. Or if they "hear" the Kilo class sub "B-871 ("Alrosa").
