Everyone who walks under the glorified St. Andrew’s flag, worthily and selflessly serves in the expanses of the seas and oceans, is the honor and pride of the Fatherland.
This holiday reminds us of the heroic history of the Navy, the fearlessness and courage of sailors who always, since the time of Peter I, defended the interests of Russia and did not spare their lives for their Motherland. The traditions accumulated over three hundred years of the formation and development of the Russian navy multiply its glory. They teach new generations, who also remain true to their patriotic duty.
I wish the Russian sailors success, health and prosperity! Seven feet under the keel!
