Talk:Imperial Russian Navy

Can somebody change "1800" to "1696" in a table of contents next to the Imperial Russian Navy? I'm not sure how to do it. KNewman 04:18, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

There you go. The template is called Navies of Russia, therefore you go to Template:Navies of Russia in the search bar and edit it. Kapil 06:25, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Battle of Sinop
This battle's significance is that it demonstrated the power of explosive shells against wooden ships, not the common Russian display of bravery or any significant tactical innovations, is it not? With respect, Ko Soi IX 06:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Late 19th century
I've added two references and more detail about the visit of the Russian Navy to the USA in 1863. Also added Notes section to display the references. 208.145.81.2 (talk) 18:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * We still need the main article, (what shall we call it?) and Russia and the American Civil War. I started by writing Uragan class monitor. There are some related articles listed on the talk page, including Экспедиция русского флота к берегам Северной Америки (1863–1864). -- Petri Krohn (talk) 01:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

A better explained reason is actually on Wikipedia: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Modern_History/American_Civil_War/Wartime_Diplomacy/US-Russian_Relations

The third fleet?
The Russian, was not the third fleet on the XVIII and early years of XIX centuries. The spanish fleet was the third, in some moments compiting with the french navy for the second place,until Trafalgar, and even a few years later. Then, the Russian fleet occupied its place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.225.160.73 (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Source for images and translation
A good source for images is the Archive photographs of ships of Russian and Soviet Navy. It also contains an excelent collection of links to other Russian naval sources:

All of this is in Russian, but luckily we have Google Translate. Here is a translated link to the link page. Enjoy!

Russian Fleet during the american civil war.
Historian Webster Griffin Tarpley made a lecture on the Russian fleet during the american civil war. It was broadcast on C-Span and can be watched on their website: http://www.c-span.org/video/?315198-1/russias-participation-us-civil-war — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.10.70.79 (talk) 01:11, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
