Serve my Homeland 23.01.2005 (2005)

Special reportage of Alexei Artemyev.

Exactly 100 years ago the first Russian combat submarine "Dolphin" was launched from the shipbuilding sites of the Baltic Shipyard in St.

Petersburg, with which the formation of the underwater forces of the Russian navy began.

To attract sailors to the then unknown service, the fleet management installed a special silver breastplate for naval officers and introduced a system of incentives.

Since then, the service on the submarine has become prestigious, the schools that trained the submariners were barely able to cope with the number of entrants ...

After the death of the nuclear-powered vessel "Kursk", the competition for the specialty of a submariner in naval institutes fell sharply.

In the current academic year, the situation has changed radically again.
