Kommuna is a submarine salvage ship in service with the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet. A double-hulled catamaran, she was laid down at the Putilov Factory (now the Kirov Factory) in St. Peterburg in November 1912 as the Volkhov, launched the following year, and commissioned on 14 June 1915. She was renamed the Kommuna on 31 December 1922. Having served in the Russian Imperial, Soviet, and Russian Federal navies through the Revolution and two world wars, she is the oldest ship still in service with any navy (excluding such honorary commissioned ships as USS Constitution and HMS Victory).
