The Soviet Navy at the beginning of war, did not have as many surface vessels as the British and Americans had. But the Soviet submarine fleet was large, probably the largest one in the world at the time [1941]. The Soviet Navy consisted of 4 battleships, 10 cruisers, 59 destroyers and 218 submarines. The navy was divided in fleets in Baltic Sea, Arctic Sea, Black Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

The Soviets mostly fought in the Baltic Sea and in the Arctic Sea. In Black Sea they had many losses, but there does not exist a complete record of Soviet losses in the area.
