Navy Day 2012 - July 29

For more than 70 years on the last Sunday in July, it is customary to celebrate Navy Day. Navy Day 2012, thus, falls on 29 July.

The first Russian warship is considered "Eagle", built on the design of Colonel Cornelius Vanbukoven, the Dutch shipbuilder. The ship was created during the reign of Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich Tishayshey. But the official beginning of the history of the Russian Navy is 1696, when the decision of the Boyar Duma was legislatively determined its creation. Peter I and his companions perfectly understood that only the fleet will help the state to take a new step in development.

The goal of Peter I was the blockade of the Turkish fortress of Azov. In the late 17th century at the shipyards of the Voronezh Admiralty, the first ships, and by the spring of 1700, 113rowing and 40 sailing vessels. Successfully solving the problem of Azov, Peter I decided to reach the coast of the Baltic Sea, and Russia took part in the Northern War with Sweden.

But enough of the past, let's talk about the present. At the moment, the Navy of the Russian Federation includes five operational-strategic associations: Baltic, Northern, Black Sea and Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, as well as the Caspian Flotilla of the Russian Navy.

AT Russian Navy includes surface and submarine forces, marineaviation, coastal troops, ships and ships, special-purpose units, units and units of the rear. Marine aviation is divided into coastal, deck, strategic, and coastal forces are subdivided into marines and coastal defense troops.

Day of the Navy is a holiday in which we have the opportunity pay tribute to honor and glory to the military sailors, reliably standing guard over the national interests of the country, as well as members of their families who have to endure an uneasy separation test.
