The Hydrographic Service of Russia in the Pacific was created during the reign of Emperor Alexander II on October 31 of the year 1856. The service was engaged in the construction of lighthouses, escorting ships and ensuring their safe navigation.
Hydrographs of the past created detailed maps of bays and bays, anchorages, which made a huge contribution to the study of Russian Pacific waters. Hydrographic ships of the Pacific fleet repeatedly participated in long scientific expeditions devoted to the versatile exploration of the oceans.
The rich traditions of Pacific military hydrographers continue. On November 12 a solemn launching ceremony of the hydrographic vessel (Gis) "Victor Faleev" took place in Vladivostok. The vessel was named in honor of the outstanding naval hydrograph Viktor Faleev. The launch of the new gisu was timed to coincide with the celebration of the 155 anniversary of the establishment of a hydrographic service in the Pacific Fleet.
The shipbuilders of Vostochny Shipyard enterprise, representatives of the Pacific Fleet command and its veterans participated in the ceremony of launching the ship.
Over the past 155 years, the tasks of military hydrographers have not changed much: the crew of the new vessel will set up radio navigation buoys in the open sea and ensure the smooth operation of navigation systems ensuring the safe movement of ships near the Pacific coast of our country.
According to representatives of the Pacific Fleet, "Victor Faleev" will patrol the coast of the Russian Far East. Gisu is equipped with the latest technology and has a significant autonomy of swimming.
