Sevastopol formerly known
as Sebastopol, is a port city in Ukraine,
located on the Black Sea coast of the Crimea
peninsula. It has a population of 342,451
(2001). The city, formerly the home of the
Soviet Black Sea Fleet, is now a Ukrainian
naval base mutually used by the Ukrainian
Navy and Russian Navy.
The unique geographic location and navigation
conditions of the city's harbours make Sevastopol
a strategic important naval point. It is
also a popular seaside resort and tourist
destination, mainly for visitors from the
CIS countries.
The trade and shipbuilding importance of
Sevastopol's Port has been growing since
the fall of the Soviet Union despite the
difficulties that arise from the joint military
control over its harbours and piers.
Sevastopol is also an important centre of
marine biology research. In particular,
studying and training of dolphins has been
conducted in the city since the end of World
War II, initially as a secret naval program
to use these animals for special undersea
operations.
