In November 1917, the Sahaidachny Sea Battalion (kurin) was established in Sevastopol, which, on November 24, 1917, was sent to Kiev and participated in the Kiev Arsenal January Uprising. On December 29, 1917, most of the Black Sea Fleet sided with the Bolsheviks. Earlier, in December 1917, the Ukrainian squadron led by the Russian battleship Imperator Aleksandr III, including another cruiser and three destroyers, participated in the evacuation of the 127th Infantry Division from Trebizond back to Ukraine.

List of captured ships of the Ukrainian Navy.[1] On 8 April 2014, an agreement had been reached between Russia and Ukraine to return captured vessels to Ukraine and "for the withdrawal of an undisclosed number of Ukrainian aircraft seized in Crimea".[2] At the time, Russian naval sources claimed that the Ukrainian ships were "not operational because they are old, obsolete, and in poor condition".[2]
