Historically, in the late 80s the Soviet Naval Infantry had the following:
55th Division in Vladivostok (Pacific Fleet)
61st and 175th Brigades and 8th Regiment on the Kola Peninsula. (8th was Mobilization-only and 175th was Category C)
810th Brigade in Sevastapol (Black Sea)
336th Brigade in Kalinigrad (Baltic Fleet)
and two battalions in the Caspian, the 414th and 660th
Additionally, coast defense units (missiles and guns) were under the same command structure within the fleets, and there were small security units (HQ defense and anti-swimmer) and engineer units that were in the naval infantry hierarchy.
The other mention in Canon is in RDF Sourcebook, which lists the 37th Battalion as part of the Caspian Flotilla.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
