The Soviet Union is a great maritime power. Our merchant ships and warships sail all over the seas and oceans. The naval service is not an easy task. Sailors of our time take an example from the sailors of the Great Patriotic War, from the sailors of the October Socialist Revolution and from the first Russian sailors. The Russian fleet made circumnavigations, discovered unknown lands and fought and defended the country from enemies. Many glorious victories were won in naval battles. The names of courageous admirals, brave sailors of the past will never be forgotten. Some of them are described in this book.
