On October 13, the Day of the Hydrographic Service of the Russian Navy is celebrated. It is a professional holiday of servicemen, veterans and civilian personnel of the Hydrographic Service of the Russian Navy.
The Hydrographic Service of Russia has existed in various organizational and structural forms since the time of Peter I. The Day of the Hydrographic Service of the Russian Navy is an important holiday for all those living in our country. The scientific and military-patriotic activities of the Hydrographic Service of the Russian Navy are of great importance. They explore oceans and seas, discover new geographical objects and find long-sunken ships, help preserve the historical memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, refine maps, and ensure navigation safety.
The Hydrographic Service of the Northern Fleet has been a partner of the Murmansk Regional Branch of the Russian Geographical Society for a long time. For example, for several years now, they have been successfully working together within the framework of the Complex Expedition of the Northern Fleet and the Russian Geographical Society "Remember the War".
