Video showed a fire purportedly on a vessel in Sevastopol’s Sukharnaya Bay after explosions were heard in the annexed Crimean naval port.

    Kommuna is a salvage vessel, not really a warship, but is the world’s oldest active duty naval vessel.

      H.M.S. Victory is the oldest commissioned warship (1765) but has been in dry dock as a museum ship since 1922.

      U.S.S. Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship still in service (1797) but is no longer a warship but a sail-training ship.

      Kommuna (formerly HIRMS Volkov under Imperial Russia and USSRS Kommuna under the Soviet Union) is the oldest commissioned warship still in active duty (1913)

      Out of curiosity, I looked at some more ships from the list of oldest ships.

      The Charles W. Morgan is the second oldest ship still afloat, after the U.S.S. Constitution. She was a whaler and is berthed in Mystic Connecticut.

      The Tarihi Kadirga is the oldest surviving galley, an oar-powered ship type. Very neat.

      The Pesse canoe is about 10,000 years old and is the oldest surviving watercraft, apparently. Boggles the mind!
