The Navy is the pride and glory of our country. Every year in last sunday July, we congratulate sailors and officers, submariners and marines, coast guard and naval aviation soldiers on their professional holiday. We should not forget about hydrographic services, services providing rear services, and signalmen.
The honored guests of the holiday are WWII veterans who defended our country in the most difficult years. Today we will talk about the history of the holiday, how it is customary to celebrate this day in Sevastopol and St. Petersburg, Murmansk and Severomorsk, Voronezh and Astrakhan - wherever Russian warships are based.
History of the Navy Day
In 1696, the Boyar Duma signed a decree on the creation of the Navy. Tsar Peter I understood the need to build military ships to defend the state's maritime borders and conquer new territories. In 1714, the first victory at sea was won, in honor of which it was decided to hold a parade of ships. In the Soviet Union, sailors were honored during the “Red Fleet” week, and in 1939, Fleet Admiral N. G. Kuznetsov proposed celebrating the Navy’s Birthday on July 24. In modern Russia, by decree of Russian President V.V. Putin dated May 31, 2006, a memorial day for the Navy was established on the last Sunday of July.
Today, the professional holiday is celebrated by the Caspian Flotilla as well as the Black Sea, Baltic, Northern and Pacific fleets.
When is Navy Day 2015 celebrated?
In 2015, Navy Day falls on July 26. Ship parades, concerts and fireworks become traditional.
St. Petersburg is the cradle of the Russian fleet. Here the holiday will last for 2 whole days. Warships will enter the Neva waters and will be open to visitors. The event centers will be Angliyskaya Embankment and Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment. Concerts are held on the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island, in the Alexander Garden and in the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall.
Sevastopol, the capital of the Black Sea Fleet, will also delight residents and guests with festive decorations, a parade of ships and demonstration performances by sailors.
In Voronezh, on the museum ship you can take a tour of the local reservoir.
At the end of July, Russia celebrates one of its favorite holidays - Navy Day (Navy Day). The full name of the holiday is Navy Day Russian Federation in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
On Russian Navy Day, everyone who guards the country's maritime borders, family members of sailors, employees of naval institutions and, of course, sailor veterans of the Great Patriotic War and the Armed Forces celebrate their professional holiday.
When is Navy Day celebrated?
Russian Navy Day is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of July. In 2016, this holiday falls on July 31.
When is Navy Day established?
In modern Russia, the celebration of Navy Day is established by decree of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin dated May 31, 2006.
In the Soviet Union, Navy Day was established in 1939. According to the decree, the holiday was to be celebrated annually on July 24. The holiday was introduced at the suggestion of the then People's Commissar of the USSR Navy Nikolai Kuznetsov- later the famous admiral of the fleet of the Soviet Union. Thus, in 2016 the holiday turned 77 years old.
Navy Day was moved to the last Sunday in July by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated October 1, 1980.
After the collapse of the USSR, the holiday fit perfectly into the new Russian realities, becoming especially identical and revered in the 2000s - when the time came for serious modernization and the revival of the power and prestige of our army and navy.
The holiday also has a mythological background: it is believed that on the hottest days of summer it is worth paying homage to the formidable god of the seas Neptune, so Navy Day is also Neptune Day. The holiday arose from an ancient custom: before letting a ship pass, Neptune doused novice sailors with water.
Modern Russian Navy
Russia is a great maritime power. Our country won the right to be called this thanks to the exploits of our ancestors and brilliant victories in naval battles, which won unfading glory to the country and its Navy.
Today the Russian Navy is the pride of the country with military traditions and heroic history. The holiday is celebrated not only by military sailors, but also by everyone who is proud of our fleet and its heroic past and believes in its future. Service in the navy has always been considered prestigious; entire naval dynasties have been formed in Russia over generations.
The first Russian warship was created under the Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich. “There will be sea vessels!” - said, taking the throne, the future first Russian emperor Peter I, who understood well that without a fleet Russia cannot take a new step in its development.
Today, the Russian Navy, being one of the branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, is designed to protect Russia's interests around the world and its maritime borders.
The Navy is capable of delivering nuclear strikes on enemy ground targets, destroying enemy fleet groups at sea and bases, protecting maritime transportation, assisting ground forces in operations on land, landing amphibious assault forces and performing other important tasks. The Russian Navy includes surface and submarine forces, naval aviation and coastal naval forces, as well as special forces and logistics units. The operational-strategic formations of the Russian Navy are: the Baltic, Northern, Black Sea and Pacific fleets and the Caspian flotilla.
On Navy Day, memorial and solemn events are traditionally held throughout the country, military parades, including ship parades, meetings of veterans, folk festivals, fireworks and fireworks.

***
Conquerors of the seas, oceans and rains,
To the lords of all helms,
Sails and anchors
We only wish for calm,
And sail through life beautifully.
And without a compass to know
Where to moor yourself.
Let life be more comfortable
And more spacious than a cabin.
To wait at the pier
And they greeted us with a smile.
So that stray volleys of guns
Only on holidays you should listen.
And fireworks in your honor
So as not to over-read!
