Kommuna is a submarine rescue ship[1][2] in service with the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet and the world's oldest active duty naval vessel.[3]
A catamaran,[4] she was laid down at the Putilov Factory (now Kirov Factory) in St. Petersburg in November 1912 as Volkhov. The ship was launched the following year, and commissioned on 14 July 1915. She was renamed Kommuna on 31 December 1922.[1] Prior to 1974, the ship focused on salvage and submarine tending and had no submarine rescue capabilities.[5]
Kommuna served in the Russian Imperial, Soviet, and Russian Federation navies through the Russian Revolution, two World Wars, the Cold War, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[6]
