Day of the nuclear submarine fleet when is celebrated. Day of the sailor-submariner
On March 19, Russia celebrates the Day of the Submariner. This is a celebration of one of the most difficult and respected military professions. Twenty years ago, July 15, 1996, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Russian Federation Admiral of the Fleet Felix Nikolaevich Gromov signed Order No. 253, in accordance with which a professional holiday was established - Submariner's Day. March 19 was chosen as the date of the holiday - it was on this day in 1906 that the emperor Russian Empire Nicholas II introduced into the navy new class warships - submarines. Thus, March 19, 2016 marks the 110th anniversary of the Russian submarine fleet. For more than a century, the submarine fleet has become one of the most important components naval forces countries. Today, submariners are the elite of the Russian Navy. It is unlikely that then, over a hundred years ago, any of the leaders of the country and even the navy could imagine what level of development the submarine fleet would reach in the 20th century.
Russia became one of the first countries in the world to acquire its own submarine fleet. Although officially the submarine fleet in the Russian Empire was created in 1906, in reality, the development of domestic inventors in the field of underwater shipbuilding began much earlier. History has preserved the name of master Efim Prokofievich Nikonov, who, back in 1718, turned to Peter I with a petition in which he proposed to build a “hidden vessel”. An experimental copy of the "hidden ship" was even built, but during the tests the boat received a hole. During the repair of the ship, Peter I died, Nikonov was demoted to simple shipyard workers, so the idea was never completed. In 1834, under the leadership of Adjutant General Karl Andreevich Schilder (1785-1854), the world's first metal submarine was built. It was the first submarine in history built entirely of iron and armed with a pole mine with a powder charge of 16 kg. However, this project was also stopped due to the refusal of the government to finance it.
Only in the second half of the 70s of the XIX century. Russian military leadership more or less seriously treated the projects for the creation of submarines. In 1878, Stepan Karlovich Dzhevetsky (1843-1938), a Russian inventor of Polish origin, presented his submarine. Drzewiecki's first model was single-seat, and the second model, presented in 1879, included a crew of four and was set in motion by the sailors' legs - with the help of pedals they turned the propeller. After that, a state order was given for the construction of fifty similar submarines. They were distributed among the fortresses, but the boats had no real use. Drzewiecki built the world's first electric powered submarine in 1885.
However, Ivan Grigoryevich Bubnov (1872-1919), a Russian naval engineer, designer of experimental models of submarines that could already be suitable for combat missions, can be called the true "author" of the Russian submarine fleet. Under the leadership of Bubnov, Lieutenant M.N. Beklemishev and mechanical engineer I.S. Goryunov was designed and built at the Baltic Shipyard submarine "Dolphin" with a cruising range of 240 miles and a speed of 10 knots. It favorably differed from the best examples of foreign submarine shipbuilding. The maritime department agreed with this, and decided to order 10 Dolphin-class submarines. But soon the Russo-Japanese war began, because of which the construction of submarines had to be carried out at an accelerated pace. By the beginning of hostilities in the Far East, in pacific ocean thirteen submarines were already based, but they practically did not participate in hostilities. In 1903, Ivan Bubnov was appointed head of the shipbuilding drawing of the Marine Technical Committee, remaining in this position until 1908. Bubnov led the development of projects for the Kasatka, Lamprey, Shark submarines, the Bars, Morzh types ( "Seal").
On March 27, 1906, a training detachment of diving was created at the port of the Emperor Alexander III in Libava. Its tasks included, first of all, the training of submarine commanders, junior specialists and enlisted personnel. Only in the first two years of its existence, from 1907 to 1909, the Libau training detachment trained 103 officers and 525 specialists. All built submarines also came here. It was in Libau that they were manned with crews, after which they were distributed to the Baltic and Black Sea Fleets. As for the actual submarines, the most successful projects were "Walrus" and "Bars". Boats of the "Walrus" type had a displacement: surface - 630 tons, underwater - 758 tons, and an engine with a capacity of 1200 hp. allowed to reach speeds up to 11 knots. Bars-class submarines were even more powerful. They had a power of 3,000 hp, a speed of 11.5 knots, and a cruising range of 2,500 miles. During scuba diving, two 600 hp electric motors were used. The boat "Bars" was armed with four tubular torpedo tubes (two tubes were installed on the bow and on the stern), eight torpedo tubes of the Dzhevetsky system, two artillery pieces and one machine gun. The crew of the submarine "Bars" consisted of up to 33 people.
By the time the First World War began, the Russian Empire had a submarine fleet of 58 boats, of which 24 boats were of the Bars type. The main submarine forces of the Russian imperial fleet were concentrated in the Baltic Sea. A diving training detachment and a submarine brigade, which included two divisions of submarines, were based here. Despite the short period of existence, already during the First World War, the Russian submarine fleet proved to be very worthy. In 1915 alone, Russian submariners captured and sank 16 German transport ships with valuable cargo on board. In 1915-1916. to the submarine brigade Baltic Fleet 7 more boats of the Bars type and 5 boats of the AG type purchased from the United States of America were received. Great Britain sent 10 submarines of types E and C to reinforce the Russian fleet in the Baltic Sea (two of them, however, died during the journey). After an increase in the number of ships, the Baltic Fleet submarine brigade was reorganized into a submarine division. By 1917, the submarine division consisted of seven divisions, each of which had 4-5 submarines, and this was without British submarines. The first three divisions of the submarine division were fully equipped with Bars-type boats, another division with AG boats, and the remaining three divisions had a mixed composition. In addition, the Tosna floating base was part of the division. During the war, Russia lost 24 submarines, but only 4 of them were of the Bars type. The rest of the "Bars" continued to serve in the Soviet Navy, the last of the boats of this type was dismantled in 1937 - thirty years after the creation of the submarine fleet in Russia.
The events of the first months of the revolution became tragic for the Russian submarine fleet, as well as for the country's armed forces as a whole. However Soviet authority quickly realized the need to preserve the country's naval power, including the submarine fleet. Exactly Soviet period national history became decisive in the development of the country's submarine shipbuilding and the transformation of the submarine fleet into one of the foundations of the Navy. At first, the Soviet navy used old submarines inherited from the imperial fleet and renamed. However, already in the mid-1920s. construction of Soviet submarines began. In fact, the Soviet submarine fleet began with six Decembrist-class submarines, the construction of which was included in the first military shipbuilding program of 1926/27-1931/32. The Decembrist boats were armed with eight torpedo tubes (six bow and two stern) of 533 mm caliber, one 100 mm and one 45 mm gun. The boat was served by a crew of 53 people.
Almost immediately after the revolution and the creation of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Fleet (RKKF), the system for training the personnel of the Soviet submarine fleet was also streamlined. It is noteworthy that the continuity with the pre-revolutionary submarine fleet was practically not broken. So, back in the years of the First World War, the Diving Training Unit was transferred from Libava to Petrograd and Revel. The teachers and students of the detachment met the revolution in Petrograd. By this time, commanders, teachers and 56 students were serving in the detachment. Already on March 22, 1919, the recruitment of 125 cadets of the detachment was announced, which began training specialists for the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Fleet. In 1925, the Diving School was transferred to the Novomorsk barracks. To the beginning of the Great Patriotic War the detachment trained at least 14 thousand officers, foremen and sailors of the Red Navy. By 1941, the RKKF was armed with 212 submarines. The outbreak of the war became the main test of the Soviet submarine fleet "for strength". It is written about the heroism of Soviet submariners great amount literature. Twenty-three submarines were awarded the Order of the Red Banner, twelve became Guards, four submarines of the Northern Fleet became Guards and Red Banner. Twenty sailors of the Soviet submarine fleet received high titles of Heroes for their exploits during the Great Patriotic War Soviet Union, thousands of submariners were awarded orders and medals.
The victory in the Great Patriotic War marked the beginning of a new, post-war era in the history of the Soviet submarine fleet. Considering that almost immediately after the end of the war there was a sharp deterioration in relations between the Soviet Union on the one hand, the United States, Great Britain and other Western countries - on the other hand, the need for further arms buildup and strengthening of the country's naval power increased. The construction of nuclear submarines began, which received a nuclear missile. Accordingly, the demand of the submarine fleet for a large number of well-trained officers - highly qualified specialists has also grown. To improve the system of training officers of the submarine fleet, it was decided to create on the basis of the 1st Baltic Higher Naval School, which trained watch officers for the fleet, a new military educational institution submarine fleet. In 1954, the 1st Baltic Higher Naval School was transformed into the 1st Higher Naval Diving School. After the school was named after the Lenin Komsomol in 1958, it became officially known as the Higher Naval Diving School named after the Lenin Komsomol. Under this name, the school existed until 1998, when, as part of the reform of the military education system, it was merged with the Higher Naval School named after M.V. Frunze and became part of the St. Petersburg Naval Institute. In addition, the 3rd Higher Naval Engineering School was established in Sevastopol in 1951, and in 1954-1960. called the Higher Naval Engineering School of Diving. It carried out the training of engineering personnel for the ocean nuclear fleet, including for submarines.
The development of nuclear energy and the improvement of rocket nuclear weapons turned the submarine fleet not just into one of the important components of the country's naval forces, but into a part of the country's nuclear shield, which is of strategic importance for ensuring the state's defense capability. The difficult times for the army and navy of the first post-Soviet decade, when there were reductions in officers in the navy, and the sailors who continued to serve literally performed a feat of honor, were replaced with the beginning of the new millennium by a period of gradual rise in the military sphere, including the navy.
Today, only a large and highly developed military-technical country can afford to have a truly effective submarine fleet. At present, the Russian Navy is armed with multi-purpose nuclear submarines, diesel-electric submarines, and strategic missile submarines. The submarine fleet becomes pride again Russian state. Needless to say, the prestige of service on submarines is also growing today. The service of a submariner requires excellent health and physical fitness, good education and the highest professional qualifications. On missile submarines of the "Borey" type, out of 107 crew members, 55 people are officers. This is quite understandable, since only top-class specialists can cope with the most complex technical systems installed on submarines of the latest generation. On the Day of the Submariner, it remains to wish all admirals, officers, midshipmen, foremen and sailors of the submarine fleet - both active and veterans - peaceful depths, calm service and good health.
On March 19, Russia celebrates the Day of the Submariner. It was established by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Russian Federation dated July 15, 1996 "On the introduction of annual holidays and professional days specialty."
The date for the celebration was not chosen by chance. On March 19 (March 6, old style), 1906, submarines in the Russian fleet were separated into an independent class of warships. This is evidenced by the order of the Maritime Department No. 52 dated March 24 (March 11, old style) 1906, signed by the Minister of Marine, which says "The Sovereign Emperor [Nicholas II], on the sixth day of March of this year, the Highest Command deigned ... to include in classification of ships of the navy category of submarines". This day is considered the official date of birth of the submarine forces of the Russian fleet.
At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, almost all leading powers had just started building a submarine fleet.
In Russia in the 19th century, several experimental submarines were built and even a series of 50 ultra-small submarines intended for the defense of sea fortresses. The design and construction of submarines, as one of the most important areas of military shipbuilding, originated in Russia in the first decade of the 20th century.
In 1903, the construction and testing of the first Russian combat submarine "Delfin" ("Destroyer No. 113") was completed. The first submarines in Russia were called destroyers, or semi-submarines. The real name - a submarine - was established only in 1906.
For the first time, submarines, as a new category of ships that have not yet received official recognition, took part in hostilities in Russo-Japanese War. A series of submarines of 13 units, the so-called "fish series" (by the names "Dolphin", "Skat", "Burbot", etc.), in 1904 was transferred to railway to the Far East to participate in the war with Japan. The presence of Russian submarines in the forces intended for the defense of Vladivostok forced the enemy to abandon actions against the Russian naval base.
The formation of the first formation of submarine forces - a submarine brigade as part of the Baltic Fleet - dates back to 1911. The brigade was based in Libau (now Liepaja, Latvia) and consisted of 11 submarines, floating bases "Khabarovsk" and "Europe".
During the First World War (1914-1918), submarines were used to fight on sea lanes. By the end of the war, an independent branch of the fleet was formed - the Submarine Force, which could solve tasks of both a tactical and operational nature.
The initial stage in the history of Soviet submarine shipbuilding was the years 1920-1926, when several small submarines purchased abroad during the First World War were assembled at one of the Black Sea plants.
In 1930-1939, the USSR fleet was replenished with 20 large, 80 medium, 60 small submarines and 20 underwater minelayers. By the beginning of World War II, the four fleets had 218 submarines, of which 211 were Soviet-built. During the war years, their crews sank about 100 warships and destroyed over 200 transports.
AT post-war years began the intensive development of enterprises that built submarines. At the same time, work was launched to create new submarine bases in all fleets, primarily in the North and Pacific.
In 1958, the first Soviet nuclear submarine (NPS) K-3 (Leninsky Komsomol) entered the fleet, and 10 years later the Navy had more than 50 nuclear submarines. The introduction of nuclear power plants on submarines gave them unlimited navigation autonomy.
In 1967, the first strategic missile submarines (nuclear submarines armed with ballistic missiles).
With the equipping of submarines with ballistic and cruise missiles - carriers of nuclear weapons, the appearance of nuclear power plants on submarines, submarine forces entered the ocean and became the main strike force of the Navy, possessing high mobility, secrecy, and the ability to solve operational-strategic and strategic tasks.
Modern nuclear-powered strategic and multipurpose submarines armed with sea-launched ballistic missiles and cruise missiles form the basis of the modern submarine forces of the Russian Navy. The force also includes diesel-electric (non-nuclear) submarines.
Submarine forces, as the strike force of the fleet, have a number of properties that determine their advantage in armed struggle at sea: secrecy of actions, the ability to conduct fighting in any areas of the oceans, the ability to deliver powerful nuclear missile strikes against militarily important enemy targets and most effectively conduct combat operations against enemy surface combat ships, submarines, transports and ships. They have the ability to operate under the ice of the Arctic Basin and little dependence on hydrometeorological conditions in the combat area.
Today, submarines of various classes continue to carry out combat duty and combat service as part of the support system. national security Russia. The presence of a modern submarine fleet allows Russia to remain among the largest maritime powers. Therefore, the construction of submarines in our country continues today. The last few years have been marked by the laying of several strategic and multi-purpose nuclear submarines. Three strategic submarines of the Borei project have already entered the combat strength, and until 2020 it will. Of the seven multi-purpose submarines of the Yasen project under construction, one was handed over to the fleet. Nuclear submarines of this project are capable of striking targets on land and sea with long-range cruise missiles.
Along with the construction of fourth-generation submarines, work is already underway to create a fifth-generation nuclear submarine.
The modernization of the non-nuclear component is also in full swing in the Russian submarine forces - diesel-electric submarines of the Varshavyanka project are being built. For invisibility, "Varshavyanka" is called "a black hole in the ocean" in NATO. Significant firepower and high stealth allowed the project to become one of the best non-nuclear submarines in the world.
On the Day of the Submariner, solemn events are held at the main bases and bases of the fleets, at which a well-deserved tribute is paid to all generations of submariners.
Traditionally, Submariner's Day is celebrated not only by the military, but also by designers, submarine builders, ship repairers - everyone who provides construction, repair and maintenance of the combat readiness of the submarine fleet.

Today - March 19 - submariners celebrate their professional holiday - people who know firsthand what real trust, the shoulder of a comrade and mutual assistance are.
The holiday was established about twenty-one years ago. On June 15, 1996, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Russian Federation, Admiral of the Fleet Felix Nikolayevich Gromov, signed Order No. 253, in accordance with which a professional holiday was established - Submariner's Day.
March 19 was chosen as the date of the holiday, because on this day in 1906, Emperor Nicholas II introduced a new class of warships into the navy - submarines. In the same year, 10 submarines were included in the Russian fleet. Thus, Russia was one of the first countries in the world to acquire a submarine fleet. Moreover, the fleet, which soon the Russian Empire had to test in the course of the real conditions of the war.
In 1912, the implementation of the program for the construction of a series of submarines, called "Bars", was launched. The chief designer of the submarines of that project was the remarkable ship engineer and mathematician Ivan Bubnov.
Under his leadership, the very production of submarines was launched - at the plant of the Noblessner society in Reval (now Tallinn) and at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg.
The submarines built at the Baltic Shipyard received the following names: "Bars", "Vepr", "Wolf", "Gepard", "Snake", "Unicorn". Far East. And the submarines created in Revel are Lioness, Tiger, Caguar, Tour, Ide, Leopard, Jaguar, Panther, Ruff, Trout, Lynx ", "Eel". Here for the Far East - the last four. The rest - for operation in the Baltic.
The displacement of each of the submarines was 650 tons (surface) and 780 tons (underwater). Maximum diving depth - 100 m. Crew - 34 people each. Submarines participated in the events of the First World War. In particular, they were used for reconnaissance purposes, covering the mine-protective actions of the surface fleet.
By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, there were 212 submarines in the 4 fleets of the USSR. This war for the Soviet submarine fleet was a real test of "strength".
Soviet submariners had to fight in very harsh conditions. The difficulty of conducting combat operations for submariners often consisted in the lack of the necessary support and effective combat training. There was also an acute shortage of professional staff. However, when performing combat missions, crew members showed great skill and loyalty to the oath, which made it possible to perform sometimes the most unthinkable combat missions. In addition to destroying enemy ships, submariners conducted reconnaissance, laid minefields, and participated in escorting the ships of the USSR and allies.
A lot of literature has been written about the heroism of Soviet submariners. However, despite this, many secrets of battles involving Soviet submariners during the war years still remain secrets - for a number of reasons: from the banal lack of information to finding this very information under the heading "secret".
Twenty-three sailors of the Soviet submarine fleet received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for their exploits during the war, thousands of submariners were awarded orders and medals.
The power of the submarine fleet increased many times after the beginning of the atomic era. Submarines received new power plants, the ability to carry nuclear weapons on board, which turned them into real masters of the deep sea.
The domestic fleet is one of the largest in the world, with a wide potential for combat and reconnaissance missions. The composition of the submarine fleet of the Russian Navy includes: diesel submarines, nuclear multi-purpose submarines, missile submarines, special-purpose submarines.
Modern submarines of Russia: project 955 "Borey" and project 885 "Ash" began to be part of the Russian Navy in 2013.
According to a statement by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Navy will receive 24 new submarines by 2020. Such ships of different designs and classes will help to update and raise the combat potential of the fleet to a qualitatively new level.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has a clear plan for the development of the submarine Navy. For reasons of secrecy, its details are not made public, it is only known that it is planned to completely replace obsolete submarines with fourth-generation samples and create new fifth-generation projects, as well as the possible implementation of a modular assembly project for submarine ships.
Only a large and highly developed military-technical power can afford to have a truly effective submarine fleet. To maintain its position, the domestic fleet must be developed and modernized. And such work is underway.
At all times, submariners have been the real elite of the Russian Navy. That is why the prestige is growing in our time. military service on submarines. In order to be in the service on a submarine, sailors must pass a series of tests, intensive courses and psychological tests. The service of a submariner requires excellent health and physical fitness, good education and the highest professional training, since only highly qualified specialists can cope with the most complex technical systems in a confined space and increased psychological stress.
"Military Review" congratulates all those involved, including veterans of the submarine fleet of the Navy of the USSR and the Russian Federation, on the holiday!
There is no profession more honorable than defending your homeland. This fully applies to the submariners, who at this very moment protect the peace of citizens and protect our fatherland. There is no data on the number of submariners in our country in the public domain, but we remember and thank all of them on the Day of the Submariner. It is easy to guess that this is a professional holiday of courageous, persistent military and civilian personnel of the submarine forces of the Navy of the Russian Federation.
What number is marked
The Day of the Submariner in Russia is celebrated annually on March 19, according to the order of the Commander-in-Chief Navy Russian Fleet Admiral F.N. Gromov №253. Submarines are on combat duty to protect our borders and monitor the situation in the vast oceans around the clock and every day. The Russian Navy is a key link in the country's defense, and many soldiers accept congratulations on the Day of the sailor directly in the places of combat duty.
Who is celebrating
Military personnel and civilian personnel of the Russian Navy are the main characters of the holiday. Annual celebrations are organized for them. The most worthy of many receive thanks, memorable gifts from the leadership, and state awards. Submariner's Day 2014 was no exception.
A little about the profession
A submariner is not a profession, but a vocation, a cry from the heart. Not every person is able to be in a confined space under a huge column of water for a long time. This requires, first of all, desire, health, endurance, professional training. Modern submarines are high-tech complexes with advanced and ultra-modern weapons and, accordingly, such equipment should be serviced by professionals with capital letter. All members of the crew of a submarine must be able to act as one well-coordinated mechanism, and the mistake of one can cost the lives of many. Submariners have an enormous responsibility, so they want the number of dives to always equal the number of ascents.
Background of the holiday
It was Nicholas II who in 1906 by his decree for the first time not only legally formalized the appearance in Russia of a new class of ships of the navy - submarines, but actually created their small grouping in the amount of 10 pieces. The first Russian submarine "Dolphin" was launched at the Baltic shipyards in 1904. For that time, this was a great achievement, which was very useful in future world wars. In Soviet times, in connection with the development of nuclear energy, nuclear power plants began to be installed on submarines, thereby appearing nuclear submarines. Today's holiday date - Day of the submariner was established in 1996 by the Commander-in-Chief of the IMF. As of April 18, 2014, Russia has 70 submarines in service various kinds who sacredly guard our fatherland every second.
Date in 2019: .
They say that only real romantics go under the water. Perhaps, at the origins of the dream is the alluring, unknown world of the ocean. But only real daredevils become real divers. And herself military profession It is considered one of the most complex and secret. In addition, the sea itself - powerful and ruthless, gentle and boundless - leaves an inevitable imprint on the character of these people. It is these daredevils, heroes of their work that we will congratulate on professional holiday which is celebrated annually on March 19th.
Who notes?
Only a state that is strong and highly technically and militarily developed, having access to the ocean, can afford to maintain such a type of troops as an underwater one. Russia owns the most powerful modern fleet. Over the years that the submarine fleet has existed, it has become one of the important components of the state's naval forces, and the submariners themselves are proudly called the elite of the Navy. It is these brave guys, brave officers, gray-haired admirals, unforgettable veterans that are usually congratulated on the Submariner's Day.
history of the holiday
Over a hundred years ago, the rulers of the empire and the leadership of the fleet could not even imagine what it would be like Russian fleet. But it was the events of 110 years ago that formed the basis of both the formation of this unit and gave its date in the future for a professional holiday.
At the origins of the formation of the fleet
For sailors serving under water, and their relatives about the Submariner's Day holiday in 2017, what date is not a question. Over the past 20 years, the celebration has been celebrated on March 19 by order of the IMF Commander-in-Chief.
What is memorable for submariners this date. It is this day that can be considered the birthday of the Russian submarine fleet. Since in 1906, by Emperor Nicholas II, submarines, as a new class of warships, were introduced into the Navy.
How was the fleet formed?
The Russian Empire at one time became the first country to have its own submarine fleet. And, despite the fact that the official date of its creation is 1906, development began much earlier. And not by overseas designers, as some sources report, but by our compatriots.
For the first time, the idea to make a “hidden vessel” arose back in the time of Peter I. Master Efim Nikanov addressed the emperor with such a petition. However, the experimental sample did not pass the tests, as it received a hole during the first descent. Unfortunately, further work were frozen. After the death of the ruler, the repair was stopped, and the master himself was demoted to a simple shipyard worker.
Further attempts to create such a ship also failed, largely due to the lack of funding. But, nevertheless, the first metal boat in the world was built in 1834 in Russia.
Only in the 70s of the 19th century the leadership of the Empire became interested in the projects. Even was Mr. an order for the manufacture of a batch of 50 boats, which were set in motion by pedaling sailors. Such peculiar underwater bicycles have not received practical application.
A boat with an electric motor appeared in 1885. It was built according to the project of the inventor Dzhevetsky.
But I.G. is called the author of combat submarines. Bubnov. The Russian designer and naval engineer designed exactly those units that could already perform combat missions. These ships became the basis for the allocation of a separate division of the submarine fleet.
Modern submarine fleet
The submarine fleet had to endure the difficult times of the collapse of the Union, when, due to confusion and irresponsibility, many military personnel simply left their posts. However, the submariners were able to survive the difficult times of the post-Soviet deficit, lack of funding, cuts in the fleet. The sailors continued their service with dignity, and the most persistent were able to see the revival of the military sphere with the advent of the new millennium.
Against the backdrop of the development of nuclear energy, the emergence of improved nuclear missile weapons, the submarine fleet received a new, more powerful status. It has become part of a modern nuclear shield, which is of strategic importance in ensuring the country's defense capability.
You can be proud of the modern submarine fleet, as it is able to complete all the training, and, if necessary, combat missions, on highest level. Today, there are many diverse ships in service, such as multi-purpose nuclear submarines, diesel-electric ships, and missile submarines. And all these "hidden ships" are equipped in accordance with military necessity and all security requirements.
Moreover, a plan has been developed for the coming years to increase the nuclear backbone of submarine forces with its gradual but continuous renewal. In the construction of modern submarines, the emphasis is on reducing the level of physical fields, which will increase the level of stealth. They are equipped with advanced communications and detection tools. Attention is also paid to improving the living conditions of the crew members.
About the profession
The prestige of service in the modern Russian fleet has grown significantly. But not everyone can pass a rigorous selection.
Submariners
After all, the service of a submariner is fraught with a number of difficulties. Guys must have excellent physical and mental health, be in excellent physical shape, must have the appropriate education and the highest professional training.
The most complex technical systems and equipment require seafarers not just endurance, but certain knowledge. Moreover, among the graduates of the respective educational institutions select the best who can become extra-class specialists.
Do not forget that service under water is associated with a long absence from home, with many months of service raids. A submariner must be mentally prepared for such conditions, for a long stay in a confined space.
On Submarine Day, not all admirals and officers, midshipmen and foremen, sailors have the opportunity to accept words of congratulations from their relatives. Many of them will celebrate their holiday when they rise to the surface. After all, it is not in vain that divers drink on a holiday so that the number of dives is equal to the number of ascents.
Congratulations
Happy Holidays
I want to congratulate you on the holiday. And may you be far away today. I wish you to persevere in your service and be proud of your country. Be ready to defend yourself at any moment. And may the elements of the sea not frighten you, and may your heart not lose its masculinity. Serve and do not think about earthly problems, know that we are waiting for you.
Happy submariner's day,
I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart.
And courage, more courage,
Today I will praise.
I wish you well every day
So that you are friends with the submarine.
And may it never be
Bad forecasts in reports.
Be healthy, happy
To all of us relatives to the joy,
And remember, we are waiting patiently,
Showing no weakness.
