Baltic Fleet Day is celebrated in Russia on May 18th each year. It commemorates the establishment of the Baltic Fleet, one of the major operational units of the Russian Navy.
The Baltic Fleet was founded by Peter the Great in 1703 during the Great Northern War. It played a significant role in Russia's naval history, particularly during conflicts with neighboring powers in the Baltic region. The fleet has been involved in various operations and battles throughout its history, including World War I, the Russian Civil War, and World War II.
On Baltic Fleet Day, ceremonies, parades, and events are held to honor the sailors, officers, and veterans of the Baltic Fleet. It's a day to celebrate the fleet's achievements, recognize its contributions to the defense of the nation, and promote patriotism among Russian citizens. Naval bases and ports associated with the Baltic Fleet often host public events, ship tours, and demonstrations to mark the occasion.
