On October 30, 1696, a decision was made in Russia to create a regular fleet. Its creation was an inevitable step caused by the urgent need to overcome territorial, political and cultural isolation, which became the main obstacle to the economic and social development of the Russian state at the beginning of the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 90s of the 20th century, the active development of the construction of military ships began in Russia. Soon ships began to be built in various parts of the country, including Voronezh, St. Petersburg, Ladoga, and Arkhangelsk. During this period, the Azov and Baltic fleets were created, and later the Pacific, Northern, Black Sea and Caspian fleets appeared. In the first half of the 18th century, Russian sailors made significant geographical discoveries. In 1740, W. Bering and A. The Chirikovs founded Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and in 1741 reached the west coast of North America, opening the strait. Later, amazing Russian navigators like F.F. Bellingshausen, V.M. Golovnin, M. P. Lazarev and E.V. Potyatin continued their work and traveled around the world. In the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian Navy became the third largest warship in the world and actively developed tactics of military operations at sea. This allowed Russian sailors to win many brilliant victories. Admirals c. A. Spiridov, F.F. Ushakov, D.N. Sanyavin, G.I. Butakov, V.I. Istomin, V.A. Kornilov, P. S. Nachimov and S.O. Makarov became unforgettable figures in the history of the Russian Navy. During the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet Navy faced severe trials and reliably covered the sides of the fronts, fighting the fascists at sea, in the air and on land. Submarines, naval pilots and marines contributed to the history of the maritime glory of the motherland. Military figures such as the admirals N. third. Kuznetsov, I.S. Iskov, A.G. Golubko, V.F. Mholot, P. S. Oktyabrsky, L.A. Vladimirsky, S.G. Gorshkov and I. S.
