It is split into four different fleets:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baltic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Sea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Northern<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacific<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of these four fleets, the Pacific Fleet is the main one to watch from an American standpoint. This vast ocean separates the two countries, and there is an obvious need to keep Russian forces at bay. So far, there is no threat as most of Russia\u2019s Naval forces are concerned with missions in the Baltic and Black Sea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Russian Navy Continues To Grow<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In recent years, the Russian Navy has grown far larger and stronger than it previously was. This is partially down to the ongoing war in Ukraine, meaning thousands of Russians have been drafted into military\/navy service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside this, reports are circulating that the Russian navy is adding many smaller warships and submarines to its fleet to further bolster its defensive and attacking prowess. When compared to the US Navy, the Russian fleet pails in comparison. It lacks the large warships that our navy possesses, which is why it relies so heavily on smaller vessels for covert operations and swift strikes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russian Navy Fights Smaller Battles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite having a powerful fleet, Russia knows it cannot compete with the US Navy in an outright battle. This is why it takes a different strategy on the waters. The Russian Navy is known for its coastal defense in the Black and Baltic Seas, where it targets small cargo ships and threatens neighboring countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heroic Ukrainian Army &amp; Navy has enjoyed some success in sinking Russian ships, but the battle in these regional waters continues to be troublesome for the US and its allies. The US Navy has an ongoing mission to stop Russia from attacking or threatening its allies and key trading partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, many experts believe that smaller vessels must be added to our fleet to help patrol the regional waters around Russia and deter any more attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Deep Water Threat<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Submarines have always been a force in the Russian Navy. It has 64 submarines to the US\u2019s 68, presenting a genuine deep-water threat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, many are concerned with the potential that these submarines possess. They are designed with sound-absorbing coating and a wide range of onboard equipment to make them almost impossible to detect. As such, there\u2019s a constant hidden battle going on as the US Navy scours the seas for these submarines to avoid any surprises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join The US Navy Today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Navy is in need of more recruits to combat the threat posed by the Russians. While the Russian Navy is much smaller, it still poses problems around the world for the US and its allies.
