On March 19, Russia celebrates Submariner Day. In 1906, by decree of Emperor Nicholas II, a new category of ships was included in the classification of naval vessels - submarines. By the same decree, 10 submarines were included in the Russian fleet. The first of them - "Dolphin" - was built at the Baltic Shipyard in 1904.

The Russo-Japanese War was the first in world history in which a new class of warships, submarines, which had not yet been officially recognized, but had already made the enemy falter, took part. Russia's first formation, a submarine brigade, was formed in 1911 as part of the Baltic Fleet and was based in Libau. The brigade included 11 submarines, floating bases "Europe" and "Khabarovsk".
