What irritates some and inspires others isstrength and power of the Russian fleet. It is worth telling not so much about the capabilities of unique ships, as about the features of service in the Navy. The Charter of the Fleet Service instructs the crews and the command to conduct daily activities, combat duty and be ready to perform tasks at any time. And all ships of the Navy - raid boats, "Admiral Kuznetsov", submarines, etc. - daily at work. Today, the concept of the construction of the Navy until 2050 is developed, all four generic components of the Navy are being developed.
Service in the Navy began with the Russianempire. Under the reign of Peter I in 1723, the first two Russian ships took to the open sea, heading for Madagascar. The Emperor wanted to establish a diplomacy with the ruler of the pirates. However, the vessels were completely unprepared for long sea voyages and barely survived storms and storms. I had to go home. Madagascar failure still did not deprive the Russian fleet of hope to gain strength. Russia modernized its ships, creating a powerful Navy capable of solving strategic tasks. That this happened, it became clear in the second half of the eighteenth century, when the Baltic squadrons took to the fights in the Mediterranean, glorifying the names of Prince Orlov and Admiral Senyavin. Russian rulers Catherine II and Alexander I proved the advantage of the domestic fleet in battles with the French and the Turks. It was the warships that were "taken" to the island's empire in the Adriatic Sea.
In the nineteenth century, the PacificThe fleet, which successfully resisted the Anglo-French squadron. He was the strongest. But after the Russo-Japanese War, the Pacific Fleet lost many ships, and its recovery slowed.
However, in the Great Patriotic War, the power was preserved by the underwater fleet. After the Victory until the 1970s, the Soviet Pacific Fleet gained power, and the rest of the powers had to put up with it.
But in the 90's, the navy, like the army, unfortunately fell into decay. The ships were disposed of or sold.
Service in the Navy is now again the dream of manyconscripts. The restoration of Russian naval forces began in 2000. The Soviet fleet still remained in the fleet, but there were few of them. However, the Navy accomplished its mission by repelling the Russian ship "Moscow University" from Somali pirates.
The North is the stronger fleet in Russia. The carrier strike group is only possible here. It was applied near the coast of Syria. The expedition was led by the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov.
As before, the submarine fleet remains powerful.
Today there is criticism of the Russian Navy forthe state of the ships, but Russia can put into the ocean something that does not exist in England, Germany or the Netherlands - this aircraft-carrying compound. Modernization of surface ships and submarines promises to strengthen Russia's position, which regains the status of a great naval power.
Service in the Navy is a daily feat, especially forsubmariners. The base of the Northern Fleet of Russia and the point of basing of nuclear submarines is the closed city of Gadzhiyevo in the Murmansk region. The population is about 13 000 people. For hundreds of years of the history of the Russian submarine fleet submarines from tiny vessels have grown to huge missile carriers. For seamen, the service in the Northern Fleet and every campaign is both readiness for danger and waiting for adventure.
Atomic submarines of project 667 BDRM "Dolphin" with missiles RSM 54 "Sineva" - the basis of Russia's naval strategic nuclear forces.
Characteristics of the Dolphin:
Russian nuclear submarines are born onSevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk region. The shipbuilding complex in Severodvinsk was established in 1938. The shipyard program was immediately implemented: 132 nuclear powered boats, an aircraft carrier, an ice-resistant maritime platform that operates in the Arctic. Here, submarines are also being built in several stages.
A large team works here.Breakfast, lunch and dinner in three shifts, in turn, as well as duty, at a strictly certain time. A special place is the medblock. In a hike anything can happen - from a cold to appendicitis. A doctor on a submarine and a therapist, and an oculist, and a dentist, and a surgeon. There is a full-fledged operating room with all the necessary equipment.
Get used to small rooms, closedSpace is also started in training on land. In Gadzhiyevo, in the Training Complex, the crew passes the standards for the struggle for vitality and the basics of rescue training. Without this, the sea will not be released.
The basis for the security of a freelance situation -properly assembled and tuned insulating breathing apparatus. Every submariner should clearly understand how he works and how to use it. It is used with a rescue hydroturbine. It is needed if you have to leave the boat.
Advantages of equipment:
Practice immersion in the training center under the guidance of instructors.
The state service of the marine fleet isworking out the methods of salvation. In particular, the fight against a hole in the hull of the ship. Everyone in the crew must understand what they will do when the water flows. It's incredibly difficult to stop leaking in a cumbersome uncomfortable suit in the dim light of emergency lamps. Usually, several holes are worked out for training.
More terrible holes on the boat can be a fire.Work out the situation of fire. The crew learns protection from poisoning with carbon monoxide, and also how to put out the fire. For training a training complex "Fire" was created. It is fed with a flame, in the training compartment used fire extinguishers and fire hoses.
The crew also works out the evacuation from the submarinethrough the torpedo compartment is a pipe of small diameter about 7 meters long, which must be overcome in the same bulky suit. Almost everything that was done in the training complex is constantly repeated on the boat itself to bring the actions of each member of the crew to automaticity. The outcome of the whole operation depends on the actions of one person. A training alarm can be announced at any time - fire, emergency ascent, missile attack, etc. All submarine services must be ready.
Surfacing and diving for the crew of the submarine- the same as taking off and landing the aircraft for the pilot. We need to monitor the readings of dozens of instruments. Carelessness or inattention can be too costly. There are no extra training alarms in the submarine fleet. Interaction of the entire crew is being worked out.
The crew of the submarine has more than a hundred people, each has its own responsibility and business.
On the submarine fleet serve only those who can be trusted with the most formidable weapons of the country.
"A sailor has no easy or difficult road, a seamanthere is a way glorious. "Admiral Nakhimov argued that this is a difficult path: a closed space, the same people, complex tasks. To cope with this, motivation is stronger than financial prosperity or satisfaction of ambitions.
Served here are people who made an informed choice.A submariner, like a pilot, an astronaut, an infantryman, a tankman, is any man of the military profession, above all a defender of the Fatherland. And he must be a professional in his business.
The Russian Navy provides reliable protection of interestsstate, this is the main component and basis of the country's maritime potential. A special role today is assigned to the submarine fleet - the strike force, which acts secretly and performs tasks in any areas of the world's oceans, on the farthest fronts. At any moment, the crews of the submarines are ready to fulfill the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
The Russian army and navy are rapidly changing theirappearance. They need professional military men, contract soldiers. Successful and self-confident people who are ready to serve and receive decent money for this are actively moving to contract manning in the fleet. The Elite, uniting the infantry and the Navy, is the Separate Marine Brigade of the Coastal Troops of the Pacific Fleet. This highly maneuverable connection has repeatedly proved that it is able to accomplish any task. The brigade has been conducting its history since 1967. During this time, its fighters more than once took part in major international exercises, went on the ships of the Pacific Fleet to the ports of many countries. In 1995 the marines of the brigade fought selflessly in Chechnya, five people were awarded the high title of Hero of the Russian Federation. All connections were successful.
Ever since the Great Patriotic War, forselflessness and fearlessness, the enemies called the Marines a "black death." The marines always act boldly and lightning fast. They are universal soldiers, unlike the Airborne Forces, they can airborne both from ships and from the air. Service in the Pacific Fleet in an elite type of troops is responsible and significant. Combat combat training soldiers are practicing in training and long-range campaigns. Marine infantry refers to coastal forces, but naval traditions are also close to fighters. Marines also pass the rite of "rejuvenation," drink a plafond of sea water and become members of the sea brotherhood. Exits at sea for the brigade fighters are common. Everyone wants to go on a campaign. This is not only an attempt to test yourself and see the world, but also the opportunity to earn extra money.
The brigade has everything for modern and effective combat training.
It takes place in water sports complexes.Here they practice the exercises in the newest body armor "corsair", which was created specifically for "black berets". With regard to diving training and diving, the brigade occupies one of the leading positions in the Pacific Fleet.
The Federal Fleet Service provides various guaranteescontract servicemen. In addition to high pay, the Ministry of Defense provides a solid social package. Any serviceman after the first contract can become a participant in a funded mortgage system and buy an apartment in any region of the country. You can get a higher education. The brigade is deployed in Vladivostok, the city of military glory, in the outpost of the Pacific Fleet. Here are also provided service apartments. Any interested citizen with a full secondary education from 19 to 40 years old, who has served in the army or in the navy, can enter into the first contract for military service in the brigade with the Ministry of Defense. The main criteria for the selection of applicants, in addition to the desire to serve, excellent health and high physical fitness. Entrance tests for the applicant are arranged in regional selection points. In them, the candidates undergo a thorough professional and psychological test, a medical commission, and receive physical training. The Ministry of Defense is constantly working on improving the contractual service, attracting military personnel.
