List of active Ukrainian Navy ships

For previous and/or lost ships, see List of former warships of the Ukrainian Navy.

This is a list of vessels used by Ukrainian Navy. It includes main naval ships and cutters which are in service or were recently unlisted in the Ukrainian Navy as well as the auxiliary fleet, and lists ships' project numbers where a written class is unavailable or not notable – these are used by the designers to note each ship's type. As of December 2007, the Navy had 27 combat ships and cutters.^[1] Some 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the main warships of the Ukrainian Navy are former Black Sea Fleet vessels that were designed and built in the Soviet Union.

Naval ensign of Ukraine

Having several shipyards on its territory, the shipbuilding industry of Ukraine was mostly stalled after the fall of the Soviet Union. Following the Orange Revolution, on 9 August 2005 the Cabinet of Ukraine allocated some funding for the first major national program "Corvette" that was initiated by Minister of Defense Anatoliy Hrytsenko. The first warship-class built in the independent Ukraine was expected to produce its first vessel in 2016.^[2][3]

As of 24 March 2014, all of the larger ships but one (the Ukrainian frigate Hetman Sahaydachniy) of the Ukrainian Navy were captured by the Russian Black Sea Fleet.^[4] Some ships Russia returned to Ukraine (35 vessels in total).^[5] In 2015 Ukraine received 5 small (7 and 11 meter aluminum) Willard Marine patrol boats; the original order was placed in 2013.^[6][7]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the frigate Hetman Sahaidachny was scuttled by her crew^[8] and at least a dozen ships were reported captured or destroyed.^[9][10] In June 2022, the Navy announced that a number of boats had been mobilised, equipped for military needs and inducted into their newly announced river flotilla of 19 vessels; at least 8 vessels not previously known to be in the Navy were shown in the accompanying videos (one of which was previously a pleasure boat^[11]).^[12] Along with these 8 were 2 unidentified RIBs (which may have been pre-existing Navy vessels), 1 unidentified harbor patrol vessel and 1 other unidentified vessel. The 8 identified vessels are listed below,^[13][14] although it is possible that the 2 PO-2 boats among them were pre-existing Navy vessels which had their pennant numbers painted over. A subsequent video announcing the inclusion of a SHERP the Shuttle landing craft in the flotilla showed at least 2 more unidentified harbor patrol vessels.^[15] In 2022 Ukraine start developing MAGURA V5 drones, they became operational in 2023.^[16]

Notes

1. Full load (in long tons)
2. Also known as 40 Defiant
3. In November 2022, the Ukrainian Navy released footage of at least one unidentified patrol boat which they claimed was in the Black Sea.^[79] Military analyst Taras Chmut implied that all 18 manned patrol boats initially pledged to Ukraine by the US were in service.^[80] Upon finding evidence that the 40 PB-class small patrol boats were in service, the Ukrainian publication Telegraf had earlier speculated that the other manned patrol boats initially pledged to Ukraine by the US were probably in service^[81] Later that month, Militarnyi confirmed that Sea Ark Dauntless boats were in active service.^[82]
4. Assuming this boat was not previously in civilian commission
5. No project number, but similar to Kashtan (project D-055)^[11]
6. project 371U
7. U500-4 and U500-5 were boats of A500 Donbas, and were likely stationed with it when it was captured during the annexation of Crimea. In addition to the 33 named vessels out of the 35 confirmed to have been returned from Crimea, two unspecified smaller boats were returned. U500-4 and U500-5 remain in service and were probably the two boats in question.
8. project 371bis
9. project 13901
10. Figures apply for individual, finished vessels of these types, and are accurate to no more than 2 decimal places
11. The most likely class of unmanned surface vehicles to be delivered^[116]
12. Construction of both vessels to be finished in Ukraine
13. Hydroid Inc. was made a subsidiary of Kongsberg Maritime in 2008^[127] and has manufactured the Remus 100 since 2001^[128]
14. Assuming those to be purchased from industry have not yet been built
15. Capable of use as a torpedo
