Naval flags of the USSR. Flag of the Navy of the USSR - the history of creation, meaning. Soviet Navy on the eve of the Great Patriotic War

He was part of the structure of the Armed Forces throughout the entire period of the existence of the USSR. The ships of the USSR Navy were always ready to defend the borders of the state. Many sailors distinguished themselves during the Great Patriotic War.

Flag of the Soviet Navy

Throughout the entire period of the existence of the Soviet fleet, the colors of the flag changed several times. This was due either to the creation of new fleets, or to a change in the geopolitical situation.

The first flag of the Soviet Navy was officially approved in 1923. What did he look like? A rectangular cloth of red color was taken, in the middle of which the sun with 8 rays was depicted. Since this flag was to some extent similar to the national symbol of Japan, after the formation of the Pacific Fleet in 1932, Soviet sailors initiated the development of a sketch of a new flag. Such actions were logical in the light of Japan's certain hostility towards our state. The USSR in the new design was approved by a government decree of May 27, 1935. The coloring has not changed fundamentally. Now it was a white canvas with a blue stripe at the bottom. In the center of the flag was a five-pointed star, as well as a hammer and sickle. It can be seen that more traditional Soviet elements appeared on the flag. The general appearance of the flag was changed in 1950. No new symbols were added, but the party leadership decided to change the location of the star and sickle in some places.

There was also an Honorary Naval Ensign. It was used during ceremonies or given to the captains of particularly distinguished ships. Its appearance also changed several times during the existence of the Soviet fleet. For example, the first version of this flag was very similar to the usual flag of the USSR Navy, except that a large white cross was placed in the upper left corner.

What do the flags on the ship mean?

There are different situations at sea, so a special warning system has been developed in the form of flags on ships. This includes up to 80 different characters. These can be flags-commands (give reverse or low speed, etc.), warnings (for example, the course of the ship is in a dangerous direction), alerts (a person fell overboard, a distress signal on the ship). Flags can also signal ship turns. A special distinctive sign was necessarily raised on a duty border ship.

The appearance of the first naval flag of Russia is associated with the construction in 1669 of the first Russian warship Oryol. According to the surviving evidence, a flag was made for the "Eagle" in 1668, consisting of white, blue and red colors, however, the exact location of the colors is not known, but the fact is known that on the flag, by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich of April 24, 1669, it was ordered to "write" the Russian state emblem. There is an opinion that when choosing the design of the first Russian naval flag, Alexei Mikhailovich and interested persons had as a sample the cross flags of the Western European powers, similar to the design of the banners of the Moscow archers, and the colors of the royal banners and the colors of the Moscow coat of arms indicated into Russian colors: white, blue and red. But the well-known reformer Tsar Peter I decided not to stop there, and in October 1699, in a draft decree to the envoy in Istanbul, E.I. "and" red ") and with a blue oblique oblique cross over these stripes. From 1699 to 1712, Peter I drew eight more flag designs, which were successively adopted in the Navy. The last (eighth) and final version was described by Peter I as follows: "The flag is white, across this there is a blue St. Andrew's cross, with which he christened Russia." In this form, the St. Andrew's flag existed in the Russian Navy until November 1917. It is curious that the St. Andrew's flag continued to be used on the ships of the "whites" during and after the civil war. Only in December 1924, in the city of Bizerte in North Africa, the Andreevsky flag was lowered by the last White Guard ships. The first version of the flag of the USSR Navy was developed on the basis of the naval flag of Japan by captain of the first rank N. I. Ordynsky, but its similarity with the flag of another country did not allow it to stay afloat for a long time, so to speak, and in 1935 it was approved, others, the new flag of the Naval Forces of the USSR. Over time, the flag changed, the proportions of the star and the hammer and sickle changed, but the idea remained the same. And until 1992, the flag of the USSR Navy existed in the form in which it is presented to you by our online store. The flag of the USSR Navy is a white panel with a blue stripe running along the bottom edge of the flag. A red five-pointed star and a crossed red hammer and sickle are depicted on a white cloth. The flag, although it was loaded with socialist symbols, nevertheless remotely, at least in color, resembled the Andreevsky flag of the Russian fleet. How to please a sailor who faithfully served in the fleet of the Union State? It is enough to buy the flag of the USSR Navy, and at the first glance at it, only the bright moments of such a difficult service will come up in your memory. The material the flag is made of is quite reliable - the flag mesh has great mechanical strength, and when washed, the color will remain as bright as when purchased.

The naval flag of Russia was approved on July 21, 1992 and regulated by the ship charter of the Navy of the Russian Federation.

The flag is a rectangular white panel with a dark blue St. Andrew's Cross.

The flag has proportions of 2:3.

The flag of the Russian Navy is included in the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation under number 6.

The flag symbolizes the state affiliation of the ship, as well as the readiness to defend the interests of Russia in the water.

The flag is similar to the flag of Scotland. In fact, the flags are inverted versions of each other, although it is known that the flag of Scotland appeared before the flag of the Russian Navy.

The flag has been in use since the early 18th century. Peter the Great made eight sketches (drafts) of the flag. Description of the eighth draft flag: " The flag is white, across this there is a blue St. Andrew's cross, with which he christened Russia". Thus, the flag originates from the period 1699-1712 until 1917.

After 1917, the flag with the St. Andrew's Cross was not used on the territory of the RSFSR and the USSR.

St. Andrew's flag in religious institutions

The flags of the Russian Navy are located in the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas, located in the city of Kroshtadt.

The Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas was conceived as a temple and as a monument to all the dead sailors of Russia. Inside the temple are black and white boards made of marble. On black are the names of officers who died in battle, as well as in the line of duty; the lower naval ranks are not located by name, they were placed in total, excluding those who accomplished the feat. On white boards of marble, were the names of the clergy who served on the ships of the Navy and died on the water.

The Day of the Navy of the Russian Federation in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of July.

On May 27, 1935, by a decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, a new Naval flag of the USSR was established (on November 16, 1950, by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, changes were made to the proportions and positions of the star and sickle and hammer in the Naval flag of the USSR).

Naval ensign of the USSR- is a white cloth with a blue stripe running along the bottom edge of the flag.

On the white panel of the flag are placed: in the left half of the panel (near the luff) - a red five-pointed star with one end up; in the right half of the cloth there is a crossed hammer and sickle of red color. The lower points of the handles of the sickle and hammer lie on the same line with the lower ends of the star.

The dimensions of the flag: the ratio of the width of the flag to its length is one to one and a half; the width of the blue stripe is equal to 1/6 of the width of the flag; the distance from the upper end of the star to the upper edge of the flag, as well as from the lower ends of the star to the blue stripe of the flag, is equal to 1/6 of the flag's width.

The upper end of the sickle is 1/5 of the flag's width from the top edge of the flag.

In this form, the flag existed until July 26, 1992, when it was replaced by the Naval flag of Russia.
