Valery Romanovsky is a naval officer who devoted his life and service to diesel-electric submarines in the 70-90s - the heyday and beginning of the decline of the Soviet Navy. Behind - service in the Baltic and Northern fleets, long ocean voyages and an endless series of departures at sea to practice combat training tasks. Behind us are many thousands of miles, thousands of dives and ascents, tiresome storms on the high seas that turn diesel boats into tumblers. As you know, the service and living conditions of diesel submariners have never been dreamed of by other sailors, and therefore are not described in normative vocabulary. Maybe this is why among submariners the special “underwater” humor is so valued, tenacious and sophisticated. Behind are all the job levels - from the commander of a mine-torpedo warhead to the commander of a submarine, and then to the commander of a submarine brigade. Forever with you - the memory of service, the sea, submarines, crews, comrades and circumstances, a memory that resurrects the brightest episodes. This is history... And if the business, serious part of experience and memories is hardly in demand today, then the episodes that are tinged with “underwater” humor have no statute of limitations. Read... you won't regret it!
