Soviet Fleet information

No sure if this is the right place to post this or if it's been posted before.

Does anybody have any good sources or general info on Soviet (invasion, landing) fleet compositions, formations, general anti aircraft / missile tactics.

What time frame, modern day or in the past?

Past, around the 70s or 80s nothing specific.

If you can find a copy, Norman Polmar prepared multiple editions of his "Guide to the Soviet Navy" for the Naval Institute Press. I have the 5th Edition (1991). The books have a very complete order of battle for ships and airplanes of the Soviet Navy with decent information on strategy, basing, organization, etc.

You can get copies on Amazon from 3rd party sellers for $50-$30 US. The 4th Edition from 1986 is even cheaper.

I got the 1978 and 81 editions for research during the development of Cold Waters. The 81 edition has an entire section on the merchant marine that the earlier one lacks.
