The Russian naval strength 1 October 1801

Isaac Schomberg published in 1802 a list of the Russian navy in the year 1801. I used four websites trying to 'correct' the spelling of the ships' names, which was apparently fonetic. To be honest, that wasn't a success. Between brackets are the names which I presume are the correct ones. A second problem occurred while comparing the dates. Several ships were according to the forums already not longer in service, but still mentioned by Schomberg.
