The date of origination of the Russian Navy submarine fleet is considered to be March 19 of 1906, when submarines in the Russian Navy were spinned off into a separate class of warships.
The first submarines in Russia were referred to as minelayers or semi-submersible vessels. The first Russian combat submarine to join the fleet was the Delfin (Minelayer No. 113), which was completed and tested in 1903. The current name, submarine, was accepted in 1906. During World War I, submarines were used to combat maritime communications. By the end of the war, an independent branch of the fleet had been formed, i.e., the submarine forces, which could perform both tactical and operational tasks.
By the start of the Great Patriotic War, there were 218 submarines in the four fleets, 211 of which were Soviet-built. More than 6,000 underwater divers were awarded orders and medals, and 21 submariners were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
In the post-war years, intensive development of submarine-building enterprises began. At the same time, work was launched to create new submarine bases in all fleets, primarily in the Northern and Pacific Navies.
The backbone of the Russian Navy's modern submarine forces comprises nuclear-powered strategic and multipurpose submarines armed with sea-based ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Organizationally, submarines make part of all fleets. The Northern and Pacific Fleets have the most powerful submarine forces.
Today, submarines of various classes continue to carry out combat duty and combat service within the frames of Russia's national security system.
