Program of the naval parade on Navy Day on July 29, 2018 in St. Petersburg

The program includes performances by military brass bands, popular performers and exhibitions under open air. The largest and most spectacular, they promise, this naval parade will surprise even the most sophisticated spectators.

The traffic police recommends that St. Petersburg residents and guests of the city leave early. During the parade, traffic in the city center will be limited. From half past nine in the morning until noon, four bridges will be opened at once.

For those who still do not have time to take a place on the embankment, the organizers of the holiday are waiting on Senate, Birzhevaya, and Palace Squares in St. Petersburg and at the southern wall of the Kronstadt port, where the parade will be broadcast on television screens.

Three such screens were installed around the Alexander Column alone, and another largest one was installed at the central entrance to the Hermitage. It is Palace Square that will become the main concert venue for the naval festival.

Admiral Gorshkov is back in service on Navy Day, July 29, 2018

The Project 22350 frigate Admiral Gorshkov, which will join the fleet on the eve of Navy Day, left the Barents Sea for Kronstadt in early July to take part in the naval parade.

Construction of the Admiral Gorshkov began at Severnaya Verf back in 2006. This is the first large surface combatant laid down after the collapse of the USSR. The shipbuilders were given the task of creating a fundamentally new frigate, equipped with the most modern technologies, many of which had not been used in the navy before. The complexity and ambition of the project is the main reason that the deadline for handing over the ship to the fleet was postponed several times. The second frigate of the series, Admiral Kasatonov, is undergoing factory tests and will be ready for naval service no earlier than 2019.

According to the plan, the fleet was supposed to receive the ship last year, but the transfer was delayed, in particular, due to the situation around the Poliment-Redut anti-aircraft missile system produced by the Almaz-Antey concern, which should be equipped with the frigate.

The dress rehearsal for the naval parade on Navy Day 2018 took place

The personnel were in festive snow-white uniforms. Spectators watched from the stands, in front of which the most important naval award - the St. George's flag - was carried. It was awarded to those ships whose crew showed exceptional courage and bravery. Following this, in the wake formation, that is, strictly one after another, there were first small boats, patrol and reconnaissance. On board one of them is a copy of the boat of Peter the Great, the grandfather of the Russian fleet. Following are the small missile ships "Uragan", "Serpukhov", the minesweeper "Alexander Obukhov", anti-submarine ships - in total more than 40 units of various classes.

The distance between the ships is no more than one and a half cables. In fact, the difficult task is to maintain a speed of no more than ten knots in a narrow river bed. They practice not only the elements of movement and course retention, but also the exchange of signals and the organization of communication with each other. Control was carried out from the navigation bridge of the Admiral Makarov ship.

Then the naval part of the parade began. It took place in Kronstadt, on the island of Kotlin. Large displacement ships passed there. The fact is that many, of course, can enter the Neva, but it will be impossible to conduct maneuvers here. The flagships of the naval part of the parade are the missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov and the nuclear submarine Orel.

Planes and helicopters took off from airfields in Leningrad and neighboring regions and Karelia. And if you don’t know that this is a dress rehearsal, you might well think that the parade itself is taking place in St. Petersburg - everything looked so real.
