Today Russia honors its military sailors. They protect the country's borders and interests beyond its borders. Our congratulations to everyone who carries out this service. To everyone who has it as part of their biography. To the families of those who dedicated their lives to this cause. Those who develop and build warships. In honor of Navy Day, parades were held today - from Pacific Ocean to the Baltic, from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
A big festive concert continues on Admiral Nakhimov Square. Performers include folk groups, pop stars and, of course, the song and dance ensemble of the Black Sea Fleet. Day navy It seems like the whole city is celebrating here. After all, Sevastopol was founded as the main base of the Black Sea Fleet.
At exactly 10 p.m., festive fireworks will thunder across the sky over Sevastopol Bay. And given that this will happen in the water area, it is unlikely that anyone in the hero city will be able to sleep before midnight. Now the bay looks even more impressive. All ships in parade formation are illuminated with thousands of lights. Just look at the Count's pier, the snow-white gates of Sevastopol. That's why everyone takes pictures on the embankment as a souvenir.
Sevastopol celebrates Navy Day with great fanfare and roar - with a cannon shot from the mid-19th century, a theatrical narrative begins about the founding of a Russian outpost on the Black Sea in Akhtiarskaya Bay 235 years ago.
The parade begins with the raising of St. Andrew's banners and flags on the ships. The commander of the Black Sea Fleet walks around the formation on a snow-white boat and personally congratulates the crews.
This is, perhaps, a unique opportunity - to walk along the parade line of warships, and even at the helm yourself. This is, for example, the submarine "Krasnodar". In appearance it may seem small, but it is armed with “Calibers”, which destroyed terrorist targets in Syria. She is at the head of the parade line. And it is closed by the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet - the guards missile cruiser "Moscow".
The entire embankment and seaside boulevard are wearing vests and caps. In Sevastopol, this is a professional and at the same time family holiday. There are naval dynasties in the stands.
“All of my family are sailors, they served on the ship “Moskva”, on the flagship. I live in St. Petersburg in this moment and took part in the design of the ship "Admiral Grigorovich". I love my fleet, I love my homeland, so every year I attend this holiday,” says the girl.
The huge sailing ship "Chersonese" opens the military sports festival. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev watches the spectacular performance from the podium. The roar of fighters and salvos of Grads drowns out everything around. Torpedoes are clearing the water area for the passage of the newest submarine “Rostov-on-Don”.
In the air, at sea and on the shore. Helicopters literally hover over the waters of Sevastopol Bay. The sea water is literally boiling, and then the landing will take place amphibious assault on the floating pier. From the large landing ship "Azov" they disembark on amphibious armored personnel carriers. A battle ensues with the enemy on the shore. Ka-52 and Mi-28 helicopters cover them with fire from the air.
18 challenging combat elements: freeing hostages from the hands of terrorists who have hijacked a ship and rescuing a crew in distress at sea. But the most fascinating performance was the water fountains and, of course, the “tugboat waltz.” It’s one thing when sailors dance, but it’s completely unusual when big auxiliary vessels masterfully waltz to classical music in the sea.
Many Sevastopol residents and guests from all over the country were able to visit warships today. The line of applicants stretched for more than a kilometer. For many, this is an experience of a lifetime.
More than 30 ships and fleet support vessels took part in the celebrations. Tomorrow many of them will go on long sea voyages.

Where is the best place to watch the parade?
There are so many people in the city on this day that not everyone manages to attend the holiday. Therefore, we will give some advice to those who do not have a pass to the stands:
- A few days before the 29th, usually on Thursday, a dress rehearsal for the Navy parade takes place in Sevastopol. There you can see the main action on the water, albeit in a somewhat reduced form.
- Don't forget to take your documents and a bottle of water.
- To take good free seats, you will have to wake up early and be there by 6 am.
- On Primorsky Boulevard, the best place to watch the 2018 Navy Parade in Sevastopol is at the sandglass or on the stairs behind it. Photos and videos from here will turn out great, because it’s not without reason that this is where television places its cameras for live broadcasting. You can get good places if you go to the “Bayonet and Sail” or “Soldier and Sailor” - monuments at Khrustalny metro station.
- To those who live on North side, it’s better to watch the parade from the hill near the piers.
- You should not give in to the persuasion of local boat owners to watch the parade from the water. NCIS won't let them get close, and at best you'll only hear gunfire.
- The best way to watch the fireworks is in the Artbukhta area: on Primorsky Boulevard or Cape Khrustalny.
