Check out hazegray.org, or get ahold of a copy of Jane's Fighting Ships,
Combat Fleets of the World, or Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships
1946-1997. Fortunately the Russians built a large enough real-world navy
that there are plenty of names.

AFAIK the Russians have always named their destroyers, usually after
qualities - e.g. Bravy (brave) or naval heroes of junior rank - e.g.
Leitenant Ilyin.

Then I'll get out the Pycckii/English dictionary and crank out some
names
ASAP! ;->-
