I was doing a little research via Wikipedia and was astonished to find this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...line_of_Russia

What was astonishing was the number of 66 Gun 3rd Rates of the Slava Rossii-class of which 59 were built over a period of 40 or so years. 59 of ONE CLASS! They must have really loved the durn thing.

Anyway, we never seem to hear of Russian ship actions, even though they had a substantial navy... and, apparently, a lot of green paint. I know there was a little war between Russia and England shortly after Trafalgar, but I know next to nothing about it other than that it happened...
