July 28 - Day of the Navy of Russia

80
On the last Sunday of July, Russia celebrates Naval Day fleet. This is a professional holiday for all military personnel and veterans of surface and submarine forces, coastal forces, maritime aviation and numerous fleet services.





Irregular ship connections were still in the ancient Russian principalities. Later, Russia repeatedly collected naval forces for various expeditions. In the XVII century, a new era of Russian shipbuilding and the use of the fleet began. At the end of the century, the construction of regular fleets on several seas began with the efforts of Peter the Great. Soon created the Navy won the first victory.

Now the Russian Navy is a key component of national security and is designed to solve a wide range of tasks. He is responsible for protecting maritime frontiers, participating in strategic containment of a potential enemy and representing the country's interests in remote areas of the oceans.

Ships, submarines and ships serve on the numerous bases of four fleets and one fleet in all potentially dangerous areas. They can operate in all coastal seas and make long trips. Provides a solution to all tasks for the protection of designated objects and strikes against specified targets.

The Russian Navy is undergoing systematic modernization, during which it receives new combat units of all the required classes. Special attention is being paid to updating the naval component of strategic nuclear forces — several of the newest Borey submarines are already in service, and several such ships are under construction. The construction of new multi-purpose nuclear and diesel-electric submarines with modern weapons continues.

Surface forces are also developing. Modern warships of various classes and projects are being built for them. In addition to the current patrol, frigates and corvettes, construction of aircraft carriers, destroyers and cruisers of fundamentally new projects is proposed. A similar update is planned in the field of landing ships.

Modern samples of equipment and weapons are coastal troops. Having armored vehicles, rocket complexes, artillery and other means, they are ready to meet the enemy on the sea and on land - without leaving him a chance of success.

Naval Aviation of the Navy receives new samples of aviation technology and carries out modernization of existing ones. With their help, she is able to work near the coast and at a great distance from the bases, performing a search or destruction of certain objects of the enemy.

A decisive contribution to the country's defense is made by the personnel of the Navy. Crews of ships, airplanes, land vehicles, etc., fighters of land units and formations are busy training and acquire the necessary skills. They master new models of the material part and methods of warfare.

It is thanks to the personnel and his responsible attitude to the service that the Russian Navy, having gone through difficult times, regains its power. Our fleet is already a formidable force capable of stopping any enemy, and its further development will lead to new achievements.

The editors of Military Review congratulate the personnel and veterans of the Russian Navy on their professional holiday!

        You have a rare gift to spoil any festive event and mood by adding your "fly in the ointment" to it. Bury the fleet early.

        Happy holiday to all the navy! hi But the destroyer "sarych" in the photo, though in garlands, looks like a dying fleet. Alas.

        Why, in fact, are you so, on such a holiday? There have been many events in the history of the Russian Fleet, both joyful and sad ... but the Fleet - Was, Is and Will !!!
        Yes, I would like more new Ships and Boats, but not everything as I would like, and ENEMIES are Numerous and Strong ... but this is not a reason - to bury the Fleet!
        As Fyodor Fyodorovich Ushakov said, the Great Russian Naval commander, the Holy Righteous Warrior .... THE ENEMIES ARE NOT CONSIDERED, BEAT THEM!
        Ps Marine Corps - separate congratulations! Another quote by F.F. Ushakova ... A sailor should be primarily a Warrior, equally capable of fighting both on the Sea and on the Land!

            I recalled a joke about ...
            The reception at the Queen of England ends. In the queen's retinue there is an aging maid of honor with the remains of her former beauty, and next to her is an old mother, also a court maid of honor. The First Lord of the Admiralty, seeing off our naval attaché, as usual wishes “All the best and“ Seven feet under the keel! ”A deaf old woman asks her daughter:“ What did the first sea lord say? - Daughter: "He wished all the best" - And yet? - Well, seven feet ... under the keel. "The old woman's eyes widen and she says with delight:" Seven feet ... under the KILT !? So what are you still standing here for? Catch up quickly! It's so rare! "
            And you say: "And three is enough!" lol
            And taking this opportunity:
            - All sailors with a holiday! Happiness, health, GOOD LUCK !!! drinks

      The day has come for the Navy. A real peasant holiday. But now all this is felt somewhat differently than before.
      Before, you look at everything around you and embrace a sense of pride in the country, for the fact that you had the opportunity to serve in the Navy, to feel like part of a mighty fighting machine. Now, for some reason, a feeling of sadness and regret is mixed in. Probably because he saw the collapse of this very fleet, quite combat-ready ships hijacked into cut, and excellent well-coordinated crews hastily dispersed.
      What do we see now? Yes, unfortunately, ordinary window dressing. The parade of ships hastily driven from all fleets, bravura speech and wad, wad, wad ... "Yes we are, yes everyone, etc." What is the only fit in Kronstadt nuclear submarine (the third year in a row). In general, this is called "deliberate withdrawal of the ship from the combat strength of the fleet," since in the conditions of the shallow Baltic Sea this submarine is not capable of fulfilling its tasks.
      I don’t want to really overshadow the holiday, so I’ll finish on a more optimistic note. Of course, I did not go to the window dressing. We met with our crew, talked for life, and drank for the time when the whole world shuddered from every turn of the screws of Soviet submarines.
      And of course they drank for the fact that in the end the Russian Navy became at least no worse than the Soviet Navy.
      And yet - a happy holiday !!!

      PS Sorry if someone spoiled the holiday, wrote what I think.

      Father served as a radio operator on the submarine, they took there only with a musical ear. He told how they studied the Morse code on the Russky Island (give a smoke, Aunt Katya), about the huge radio tubes in the communication center near Vladivostok and the optical effects during their work. He loved this holiday. Happy Navy Day!
