PREFACE

The present work is a glossary of some fifteen hundred maritime terms having particular

relevance to Russian participation in Operation Active Endeavour. It has been produced by

the NATO Russian Language Section in cooperation with the RF Military University,

Moscow, under the aegis of the NRC and the RF Ministry of Defence.

The sources for the English terms in this glossary are essentially NATO documents made

available to nations participating in OAE, including the Russian Federation. Sources for the

Russian terms include statements by political and military leaders and publicly available

official documentation.

Its purpose is to assist in all aspects of cooperation between NATO and Russia in the

conduct of Operation Active Endeavour. It is conceived as a living document to be

maintained and developed over time.

The editorial board wishes to thank Mr. J. P. Colston, NATO DPP Assistant Secretary

General; Vice-Admiral V. S. Kuznetsov, RF Senior Military Representative to NATO; Maj.-

Gen. K. Herrmann, Director of the NATO Military Liaison Mission Moscow; RAdm. A. D.
