Donald Stoker's chapter covers Soviet amphibious landings in the Black Sea from 1941 to 1944. Its photographs show small vessels that can look more like fishing craft than purpose-built assault shipping. That improvised appearance leads into a wider account of what Soviet naval forces attempted across several seas and operational settings. The chapter's further-reading list also gives readers a route into campaigns that receive far less attention than Western amphibious operations.
