When we assembled Annex A we made certain assumptions about the Russian Navy and its free fall. While they have scrapped or abandoned dozens of ships, several old classes remain in service. In fact, Admiral Golovko, one of the Kynda class, is evidently still in service. In reserve for several years, it was reactivated for the Russian Navy's 300th Anniversary. While she floats and moves, the status of her weapons and sensors in unknown. She should not be written Off, though, since there are plenty of older units out of service to cannibalize for parts.
The Kashins also remain in service. Of the twenty built, four original-configuration ships are operational, as is one unit of the Mod Kashin class. Provornjy, a conversion to test the Uragan [SA-N-7] SAM system, was removed from service in the early 1990s, but is included here for the sake of completeness.
While these ships are not first-line, they are valuable units of the Russian Fleet. With their forces decaying, any ship that can fight is important.
