🇷🇺 Pacific Fleet Day – Honoring Russia’s Shield in the East
Russia marks the founding of its Pacific Fleet, tracing its origins back to May 21, 1731, when Empress Anna Ioannovna ordered the establishment of the first naval base in Okhotsk.
From the defense of Petropavlovsk during the Crimean War to the 1945 landings on the Kurils, Sakhalin, and Korea, the fleet has a long combat history.
With growing U.S. activity in the Pacific and Japan’s militarization, the role of the Pacific Fleet is only increasing.
