Black Sea Higher Naval Order of the Red Star School named after P.S. Nakhimov has a glorious heroic history, both during the Great Patriotic War and in the post-war period. By order of the People's Commissar of Defense No. 035 dated April 1, 1937, the formation of a naval school for training command personnel for ships and fleet units began in Sevastopol.
The first intake of cadets was carried out at the end of July - beginning of August 1937. Classes were held in the open air and in unfinished premises. The cadets lived in tents pitched on the seashore, not far from the coastal battery. Simultaneously with training, using every minute of free time, the cadets worked on the construction of school facilities.
With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, early graduations took place at the school. The students of the ChVVMU, with their courage, bravery, high professionalism and boundless love for the Motherland, entered the name of their native school into the combat chronicle of the fleet in theaters of military operations.
1,794 graduates of the school passed through the crucible of war with honor, bringing the long-awaited Victory closer. 13 graduates became Heroes of the Soviet Union, and 2 were awarded this title in post-war peacetime. Among the school's students are a Hero of Socialist Labor and five Heroes of the Russian Federation.
After the end of the Great Patriotic War on April 4, 1946, a decision was made to restore the Black Sea Naval School to train commanders of small ships with a training period of two years.
On April 30, 1947, in accordance with the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated January 27, 1947, the school was awarded the Battle Banner of the unit, under which the ChVVMU, for the first time after the war, took part in the parade of troops of the Sevastopol garrison on May 1, 1947.
April 3, 1975 By Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for great services in training officers for the Armed Forces and in connection with the 30th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. ChVVMU named after. P.S. Nakhimov was awarded the Order of the Red Star.
From 1937 to 1992 The school trained more than 16,000 officers, of whom 76 graduates became admirals and generals, some became fleet commanders, heads of departments of ministries, and ministers of defense of the USSR, Russia and Ukraine. At the ChVVMU named after P.S. Nakhimov trained naval specialists in navigational, artillery, mine-torpedo, missile, and anti-submarine specialties.
In 1992, by a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, on the basis of the former Black Sea Higher Naval Order of the Red Star School named after P.S. Nakhimov and the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School, the Sevastopol Naval Institute of the Order of the Red Star was created. P.S. Nakhimov. In 2009, the Academy of the Naval Forces of Ukraine named after P.S. Nakhimov, which was the only higher naval educational institution in Ukraine until 2014.
After a referendum on declaring the independence of the Republic of Crimea with the subsequent reunification of it and the hero city of Sevastopol with the Russian Federation, on March 20, 2014, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the creation of the Black Sea Higher Naval Order of the Red Star School named after P.S. Nakhimov.
Currently, the ChVVMU provides full military special training for officers and foremen in 7 specialties. Training is conducted in accordance with the third generation federal state educational standards. The formation of the necessary military-professional competencies among cadets is ensured by strict compliance with the qualification requirements for military-professional training of graduates, approved by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.

First, a short overview of the history of this school.
The formation of a naval school for training command personnel for ships and fleet units in Sevastopol began in accordance with the order of the People's Commissar of Defense No. 035 of 04/01/1937. The newly formed VMU was given the name "2nd Naval School".
More than two years later, by order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 241 dated June 25, 1939, the 2nd VMU was renamed the Black Sea Naval School. Then, in accordance with the resolution of the Council of People's Commissars No. 963 of 07/05/1940 and the order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 294 of 07/10/1940, the school was transferred to the category of higher educational institutions and became known as the “Black Sea Higher Naval School (CHVVMU)”.
After the start of the war in 1941, early graduations took place at the ChVVMU. In August and September 1941, the ChVVMU was evacuated to Rostov-on-Don, and in November 1941, due to the approach of the front, the school was disbanded. Everyone went to the front.
In 1946, the school was restored, and on November 1, 1952, the first post-war graduation of officers took place.
In already “Ukrainian times”, in 1992, ChVVMU was transformed into SVMI - Sevastopol Naval Institute of the Order of the Red Star named after P. S. Nakhimov VMSU. In 2009, on the basis of SVMI, the Academy of the Naval Forces of Ukraine named after P. S. Nakhimov (AVMS) was, in turn, created.
In 2014, the school was once again recreated, and already on June 18, 2014, the first graduation of officers for the Russian Navy took place there - as I understand, the graduating cadets began their training in the Ukrainian Naval Forces.
This album contains photos of cadets recruited in 1939, as well as their teachers and superiors. Almost all of them went through the war, most of them eventually connected with the fleet their entire lives. At the end of the album there is a list of graduates for 1974 - 115 people. Received in 1939 - 349.
I posted all the scanned pages in a separate album “Anniversary album of the 35th anniversary at ChVVMU named after. P. S. Nakhimova 1939-1974 "on Yandex.Photos, here I will show only a small selection of them:

In the mid-1930s, the only one could no longer provide personnel for the growing needs of the fleet. The directive of the General Staff of the Red Army dated November 19, 1936 provided for the further expansion of the network of naval schools.
By order of the People's Commissar of Defense No. 035 dated April 1, 1937, the formation of a naval school for training command personnel for ships and fleet units began in Sevastopol. The newly formed Navy Medical School was given the name “2nd Naval School.” By analogy with the M.V. Frunze Military Medical School, the new school provided for the training of watch commanders with a wide range of profiles.
For construction in Sevastopol, an area of more than 50 hectares was allocated between Streletskaya and Pesochnaya bays. It was a wasteland where, apart from a casemate-type training coastal artillery battery, built before the First World War, there were no buildings. Flag Officer 2nd Rank Ozolin Yakov Ivanovich was appointed the first head of the 2nd Naval School. Under his leadership, the most complex tasks were simultaneously solved: the construction of educational and residential premises, the creation of an entire, completely autonomous infrastructure, the recruitment of personnel and teaching staff, and the recruitment of cadets.
In 7 months, the main tasks were resolved and on November 7, 1937, the cadets of the first intake took the oath of allegiance to the Motherland on Nakhimov Square.
By order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 241 dated June 25, 1939, the 2nd Navy Military School was renamed the Black Sea Naval School.
In accordance with Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars No. 963 of July 5, 1940 and Order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 294 of July 10, 1940, the school was transferred to the category of higher educational institutions and became known as the “Black Sea Higher Naval School (CHVVMU).”
In the first years of its existence (1937-1941), cadets of the first classes, officers and midshipmen, living in tents, personally built housing and educational buildings, educational laboratories and other necessary buildings.
The Great Patriotic War
From 1937 to 1992, the school trained more than 16 thousand officers, of which 76 graduates became admirals and generals. The ChVVMU trained naval specialists in navigational, artillery, mine-torpedo, missile, and anti-submarine specialties. 15 graduates received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, three were awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. 121 graduates graduated from the school with a gold medal.

In 2009, on the basis of SVMI, the Academy of Naval Forces named after P. S. Nakhimov (AVMS) was formed, which was the only higher naval educational institution in Ukraine.
At the beginning of April 2014, after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, part of the teaching staff and cadets were transferred to Odessa.
