This is a list of Russian ships of the line from the period 1668–1860: The format is: Name, number of guns (rank/real amount), launch year (A = built in Arkhangelsk), fate (service = combat service, BU = broken up) The first two vessels, while the first major warships of the Sea of Azov fleet (built at Voronezh), were in effect frigates, with their single battery of guns on the upper deck.
They were designed for both sailing and rowing, and each had 15 pairs of oarports on the lower deck.
All eight "new-invented" ("новоизобретённый") units were flat-bottomed, two-mast (except Khotin), one-deck ships.
Built in middle stream of Don River.
Designed capable to sail downstream and to overpass river's sand-bar.
