- Nuclear submarines:
- * Attack submarines.
- * Cruise missile submarines.
- * Ballistic missile submarines.
- Nuclear icebreakers:
- * Soviet icebreaker Lenin.
- * Arktika-class icebreakers.
- * Taymyr-class icebreakers.
- Russian floating nuclear power stations:
- * Akademik Lomonosov
- Nuclear cruisers:
- * Kirov-class battlecruisers.
- Merchant ship:
