Space Fleet... It would seem that this concept has a place in science fiction. However, in the Soviet Union it really existed. This was the name of a detachment of Soviet expeditionary ships and warships, which was directly involved in the creation of the USSR nuclear missile shield, providing flight design tests of spacecraft, flight control of manned spacecraft and orbital stations launched from Soviet training grounds. This book is about the creation of a space fleet, ocean voyages, curious and tragic episodes of the earthly and at the same time space service.
