On May 18, our country celebrates the Day of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy. The holiday received official status only in 1995, after the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy. But the roots of the holiday go back to the times of Peter the Great, when the Tsar, amazed by what was lost in Europe, returned to Russia with full confidence that he would create a domestic merchant and military fleet.
History of the Baltic Fleet
The very first naval victory in the Baltic took place on May 18. This happened in 1703, when several dozen boats filled with soldiers of the Semenovsky and Preobrazhensky regiments defeated two large Swedish ships and captured the mouth of the Neva. Tsar Peter the Great himself personally commanded the army. It is curious that a special medal was issued in honor of the winners, with the inscription: “The unthinkable happens.” It sounds a little un-Russian; here it would be more appropriate: “The impossible is possible.”
Saint Petersburg
The Baltic has always been connected with the city of Petrov; it was here that the Russian fleet took its first steps, and the birth of the naval armada happened a year later than the appearance of the city itself. It turns out that Petersburg was founded in 1703, and the first shipyard appeared a year later and as a result it became the most important shipyard of the renewed Russian state.
First test
The Baltic Fleet first showed itself during Northern War, when numerous victories were won over the formidable Swedish fleet. A century later, the Baltic fleet gave a serious repulse during Crimean War, and stopped all attempts by the Swedes to take control of the northwestern borders of the empire. Thus, Kronstadt finally passed to Russia, and the danger of losing St. Petersburg and others important cities in the border areas has come to naught.
Baltic during World War II
In the first years of the war, the fleet actively resisted the enemy's invasion from the Baltic and until the last held back the enemy's power in relation to Leningrad. The Baltic Fleet supported the front in the direction of East Prussia and Pomerania. In total, during the Great Patriotic War, the forces of the Baltic Fleet destroyed more than 1,200 enemy ships, including combat, transport and service equipment. There were great victories both on land and on the ground, for example, the Baltics destroyed more than 2.5 thousand enemy aircraft, and over 100 thousand soldiers fought against Germany during ground operations.
Scientific base
No less merit of the fleet in the Baltic in numerous scientific works, research and expeditions. It was from the Baltic Sea that domestic researchers set off in search of new lands and riches. We have to admit that almost 500 new geographical discoveries were made by our great navigators, and as a result, each of them received the name of a Russian navigator.
Our era
Nowadays, the Baltic Fleet should not be perceived only from the point of view of naval purposes, it is also a research base, industrial zone and a training facility for exercises. Baltic Fleet Day is celebrated by everyone who works in the Baltic, and not only those associated with water element. It is possible to highlight naval pilots, infantrymen, missilemen who make up the air defense forces, as well as ground forces.

May 18 - Baltic Fleet Day
Construction navy in the Baltic was determined by the military-political goals of the Russian state, set for the period of the war with Sweden, which began in 1700. The most important of them was Russia’s access to the coast of the Baltic Sea. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to defeat the Swedish lake flotillas and capture the coastal fortresses, and it was for this that warships were needed. In 1702, the construction of ships began at the Novgorod and Pskov shipyards. At that time, the structure of the proposed maritime connections had not yet been determined.
The capture by Russian troops of the Oreshek fortress, located at the mouth of the Neva, on October 11 (22), 1702, significantly changed military-political situation in the region. This event, in essence, prepared the conditions for transferring the issue of creating a regular fleet in the Baltic Sea into a practical direction. Founded at the end of 1702 - beginning of 1703. at the Syaskaya shipyard, 2 new frigates, in addition to the 4 frigates already laid down there, were initially intended not for Lake Ladoga, but to form the ship composition of the future fleet in the Baltic.
By decree of Peter I of January 13 (24), 1703, it was ordered to build 6 more frigates. Closer to March, Peter I came to the conclusion that it was necessary to create a more powerful connection in the Baltic than previously assumed. In the same year he compiled a ship list, which with good reason can be considered a program document for the construction of the Baltic Fleet.
It defined quantitative and high-quality composition ships needed for the fleet: “12 ships, 10 shnavs, 3 flutes, 6 boats, 1 boats, 6 shmak, 10 schooners, 10 galleys.” However, the date of writing this document remained unknown, and therefore, when establishing the day of the founding of the Baltic Fleet, it was necessary to use a certain assumption. The most acceptable date was determined to be May 7 (18), 1703 - Victory Day 30 Russian boats with two companies of the Semenovsky and Preobrazhensky regiments under the command of Peter I over two Swedish military ships “Gedan” and “Astrild”.

Then, on May 5 (16), the indicated Swedish ships, from the squadron of G. Nummers, not knowing that the Nyenschanz fortress was in the hands of the Russians, approached it and anchored. Peter decided to take advantage of the enemy's carelessness. A detachment of Russian guards, boarded on 30 boats, under the command of the Tsar himself and A.D. Menshikov on the night of May 7 (18) suddenly attacked the ships and captured them. There were 18 cannons on the ships. Of the 77 people, 19 were captured, the remaining 58 people were killed.
This battle was the first armed conflict in the Baltic, had a great resonance and was important symbolic meaning in the history of the creation of the Baltic Fleet. In honor of the victory, a medal was struck with the inscription: “The unthinkable happens.” The Military Council awarded Peter I and Menshikov the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called, and all participants in the battle received award medals (officers - gold, soldiers - silver).

With the capture of Nyenskans, Russia gained access to the Baltic Sea. There was an opportunity to establish trade relations with other countries. The question arose about protecting the mouth of the Neva. In the journal of Peter I there is the following entry: “After the capture of Kanets (Nyenschanz. - Author), a military council was sent to determine whether to strengthen the trench, or to look for another place (since it is small, far from the sea, and the place is not much strong by nature) , in which it is supposed to look for a new place, and after a few days it was found convenient place an island called Lust Eland (that is, Cheerful Island), where on the 16th day of May the Peter and Paul Fortress was founded and named St. Petersburg.” So on May 16 (27), 1703, the city of St. Petersburg was founded, which later became new capital Russian state.

In the spring of 1703, in order to reliably cover the approaches to the mouth of the Neva and St. Petersburg, the Kronshlot fortress, armed with 14 guns, was built near Kotlin Island. An artillery battery of 60 guns was installed on Kotlin.
At the end of May - beginning of June 1703, Russian troops captured the fortresses of Yam and Koporye. Thus, the enemy was expelled from the territory of the ancient Izhora land. In all this there was considerable merit of the young Baltic Fleet.

In 1704, the Admiralty was founded in St. Petersburg. Further rapid development of Russian naval forces in the Baltic led to the creation of a strong Baltic Sea fleet, divided into several squadrons with different bases. The main task The fleet became the defense of the capital from the sea.
The fleet under construction met all the requirements of the time. Main classes sailing ships were battleships and frigates. The battleship had a displacement of 1-2 thousand tons, three-masted sailing equipment, 2-3 battery decks (decks), on which 52-90 guns of 24-, 12- and 6-pound caliber were installed. The frigate had 1-2 battery decks and was armed with 25-44 guns.

The main type of rowing vessel was the scampaway. Due to its greater lightness and better maneuverability, its seaworthiness compared favorably with Western European galleys. This was especially important for operations in the skerry areas of the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Bothnia. Scampavea had up to 18 pairs of oars, 3-5 cannons of 12-, 8- and 3-pound caliber and up to 150 crew members.
From 1703 to 1709, 15 frigates, 13 ships, 3 bombardiers and 44 other smaller sailing ships were commissioned in the Baltic. The skerry flotilla consisted of 114 rowing ships: 2 rams, 91 brigantines, 21 galleys and half-galleys.

After 1709, fleet bases were established in Kronstadt, Vyborg and Revel. The main classes of combat ships based in these bases were battleships and frigates. By the end of the war, Russia had almost twice the number of battleships as Sweden.

Fleet history
The Baltic Fleet was created by Tsar Peter I during the Northern War of 1700-1721. The fleet began with ships laid down in 1702-1703. at shipyards on the rivers Syas and Svir (flow into Lake Ladoga). First by large ship The 28-gun frigate "Standard" became a fleet in 1703.
