Navy of the USSR (Navy of the USSR)- the navy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that existed from 1918 to 1992, created on the basis of after the October Revolution. In 1918-1924 and 1937-1946 it was called Workers 'and Peasants' Red Fleet (RKKF); in 1924-1937 and 1950-1953 - Naval Forces of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (Navy of the Red Army).

Creation of a fleet

The Soviet Navy was created from the remnants of the Russian Imperial Navy, which was almost completely destroyed as a result of the October Revolution and the Civil War.

During the revolution, sailors left their ships en masse, and officers were partially repressed or killed, partially joined the White movement or resigned. Work on the construction of ships was stopped.

The basis of the naval power of the Soviet fleet was to be battleships of the "Soviet Union" type, and the construction of a modern fleet was one of the priority tasks of the USSR, but the beginning of the Great Patriotic War prevented the implementation of these plans.

The Workers' and Peasants' Red Fleet took part in the 1939-1940 Soviet-Finnish War, which was reduced mainly to artillery duels between Soviet ships and Finnish coastal fortifications.

The Second World War

In 1941, as a result of the attack of the army of Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union, the army of the Soviet Union suffered huge losses, many sailors were transferred to the ground forces, and naval guns were removed from ships and turned into coastal ones. The sailors played a particularly important role on land in the battles for Odessa, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Novorossiysk, Tuapse and Leningrad.

Composition of the Red Fleet in 1941

Soviet Navy on the eve of the Great Patriotic War

By 1941, the Navy of the Soviet Union included the Northern, Baltic, Black Sea and Pacific Fleets.

In addition, it included the Danube, Pinsk, Caspian and Amur flotillas. The combat power of the fleet was determined by 3 battleships, 7 cruisers, 44 leaders and destroyers, 24 patrol ships, 130 submarines and more than 200 ships of various classes - gunboats, monitors, torpedo boats, auxiliary vessels ... .. 1433 aircraft totaled naval aviation ....

The forces of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet consisted of 2 battleships, 2 cruisers, 2 leaders, 17 destroyers, 4 minelayers, 71 submarines and more than 100 smaller class ships - patrol boats, minesweepers, torpedo boats and others. The aviation assigned to the fleet consisted of 656 aircraft.

The Northern Fleet, formed in 1933, by 1941 had 8 destroyers, 7 patrol ships, 2 minesweepers, 14 submarine hunters, a total of 15 submarines. The Fleet Air Force had 116 aircraft at its disposal, but half of them were obsolete seaplanes. There were 28,381 personnel on ships and in parts of the fleet.

By the beginning of World War II, a well-equipped fleet for that time was created in the Black Sea, consisting of 1 battleship, 5 cruisers, 3 leaders and 14 destroyers, 47 submarines, 2 brigades of torpedo boats, several divisions of minesweepers, patrol and anti-submarine boats, the Air Force of the Fleet (St. 600 aircraft) and strong coastal defense. The Black Sea Fleet included the Danube (until November 1941) and the Azov military flotilla, created in July 1941.

The Pacific Fleet included: 2 leaders of destroyers - "Baku" and "Tbilisi", 5 destroyers, 145 torpedo boats, 6 patrol ships, 5 minelayers, 18 minesweepers, 19 submarine hunters, 86 submarines, about 500 aircraft.

With such forces, the fleet met the news of the beginning of the Second World War.

In August 1941, after the attack of the Nazis, 791 civilian ships and 251 border guard ships were "seconded" to the Navy, having undergone appropriate re-equipment and armament. For the needs of the Red Banner Fleet, 228 coastal defense batteries, 218 anti-aircraft batteries and three armored trains were formed.

The Red Fleet in 1941 included:

7 cruisers (including 4 Kirov-class light cruisers)
59 destroyers (including 46 Wrathful and Sentry class ships)
22 patrol ships
a number of smaller ships and vessels

Another 219 ships were under construction in varying degrees of readiness, including 3 battleships, 2 heavy and 7 light cruisers, 45 destroyers and 91 submarines.

During the years of World War II, the United States and Great Britain transferred ships, boats and ships with a total displacement of 810,000 tons to the USSR under the Lend-Lease program.

Fleet combat

After the capture of Tallinn by the German army, the Baltic Fleet was blocked by minefields in Leningrad and Kronstadt. However, surface ships continued to play an important role in the defense of Leningrad - they actively participated in the air defense of the city and fired at German positions from their main battery guns. One example of the heroism of the sailors is the actions of the battleship Marat, which continued to fight and fire from main battery guns until the end of the war, despite the fact that on September 23, 1941, as a result of an attack by German Ju-87 dive bombers, the ship was actually broken into two parts and was in a semi-flooded state.

The submarines of the Baltic Fleet managed to break through the naval blockade and, despite the losses, they made a great contribution to the destruction of the enemy's sea lanes in the Eastern European theater of operations.

cold war

By the mid-1940s, the military potential of the United States was enormous. Their armed forces included 150 thousand different aircraft and the largest fleet in the world, which had over 100 units of aircraft carriers alone. In April 1949, at the initiative of the United States, the military-political bloc of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created, after which two more blocs were organized - CENTO and SEATO. The goals of all these organizations were directed against the socialist countries.

The international situation dictated the need to counter the combined forces of the capitalist countries with the combined might of the socialist states. To this end, on May 14, 1955 in Warsaw, the heads of government of the Socialist. countries signed a collective allied Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, which went down in history as the Warsaw Pact.

Development of the Soviet Navy after World War II

In the very first post-war years, the Soviet government set the task of accelerating the development and renewal of the Navy. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the fleet received a significant number of new and modern cruisers, destroyers, submarines, patrol ships, minesweepers, submarine hunters, torpedo boats, and pre-war ships were modernized.

At the same time, much attention was paid to improving the organization and raising the level of combat training, taking into account the experience of the Great Patriotic War. The existing charters and training manuals were revised and new ones were developed, and the network of naval educational institutions was expanded to meet the increased personnel needs of the fleet.

The appearance of the first naval flag of Russia is associated with the construction in 1669 of the first Russian warship Oryol. According to the surviving evidence, a flag was made for the "Eagle" in 1668, consisting of white, blue and red colors, however, the exact location of the colors is not known, but the fact is known that on the flag, by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich of April 24, 1669 was ordered to "write" the Russian state emblem. There is an opinion that when choosing the design of the first Russian naval flag, Alexei Mikhailovich and interested persons had as a sample the cross flags of the Western European powers, similar to the design of the banners of the Moscow archers, and the colors of the royal banners and the colors of the Moscow coat of arms indicated into Russian colors: white, blue and red. But the well-known reformer Tsar Peter I decided not to stop there, and in October 1699, in a draft decree to the envoy in Istanbul, E.I. "and" red ") and with a blue oblique oblique cross over these stripes. From 1699 to 1712, Peter I drew eight more flag designs, which were successively adopted in the Navy. The last (eighth) and final version was described by Peter I as follows: "The flag is white, across this there is a blue St. Andrew's cross, with which he christened Russia." In this form, the St. Andrew's flag existed in the Russian Navy until November 1917. It is curious that the St. Andrew's flag continued to be used on the ships of the "whites" during and after the civil war. Only in December 1924, in the city of Bizerte in North Africa, the Andreevsky flag was lowered by the last White Guard ships. The first version of the flag of the USSR Navy was developed on the basis of the naval flag of Japan by captain of the first rank N. I. Ordynsky, but its similarity with the flag of another country did not allow it to stay afloat for a long time, so to speak, and in 1935 it was approved, others, the new flag of the Naval Forces of the USSR. Over time, the flag changed, the proportions of the star and the hammer and sickle changed, but the idea remained the same. And until 1992, the flag of the USSR Navy existed in the form in which it is presented to you by our online store. The flag of the USSR Navy is a white panel with a blue stripe running along the bottom edge of the flag. A red five-pointed star and a crossed red hammer and sickle are depicted on a white cloth. The flag, although it was loaded with socialist symbols, nevertheless remotely, at least in color, resembled the Andreevsky flag of the Russian fleet. How to please a sailor who faithfully served in the fleet of the Union State? It is enough to buy the flag of the USSR Navy, and at the first glance at it, only the bright moments of such a difficult service will come up in your memory. The material from which the flag is made is quite reliable - the flag mesh has great mechanical strength, and even when washed, the color will remain as bright as when purchased.

The Day of the Navy of the Russian Federation in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of July.

On May 27, 1935, by a decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, a new Naval flag of the USSR was established (on November 16, 1950, by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, changes were made to the proportions and positions of the star and sickle and hammer in the Naval flag of the USSR).

Naval ensign of the USSR- is a white cloth with a blue stripe running along the bottom edge of the flag.

On the white panel of the flag are placed: in the left half of the panel (near the luff) - a red five-pointed star with one end up; in the right half of the cloth there is a crossed hammer and sickle of red color. The lower points of the handles of the sickle and hammer lie on the same line with the lower ends of the star.

The dimensions of the flag: the ratio of the width of the flag to its length is one to one and a half; the width of the blue stripe is equal to 1/6 of the width of the flag; the distance from the upper end of the star to the upper edge of the flag, as well as from the lower ends of the star to the blue stripe of the flag, is equal to 1/6 of the flag's width.

The upper end of the sickle is 1/5 of the flag's width from the top edge of the flag.

In this form, the flag existed until July 26, 1992, when it was replaced by the Naval flag of Russia.
