As a child, every child dreamed of becoming a military man. It is a valiant and courageous profession, supported by universal honor and respect among all people. There are many ranks in military affairs - from junior personnel to general, but today we will talk specifically about captain 1st rank.
Everything you need to know
What is a 1st rank captain? Let's try to answer this question. Sea captain 1st rank (abbreviated kapraz, or koperang) is a naval military rank used in the CIS countries. Refers to senior officer ranks. In terms of its importance, captain 1st rank is a colonel according to the land rank in the Russian Armed Forces.
A little history
The rank of captain 1st rank was introduced in 1713 in the Russian Empire by the founder of the Russian navy, Peter I. In 1731, the division into ranks was abolished until September 1751.
What does the title correspond to?
Captain 1st rank corresponds to the highest rank among all ranks classified as the so-called senior officers of the Navy. It also includes a captain of 3rd rank (relatively lower in seniority) and a captain of 2nd rank. Above captain 1st rank are only admiral ranks, such as rear admiral, vice admiral and admiral. The age limit for a 1st rank captain should not exceed 55 years.
What are the powers?
A captain of the 1st rank, according to his status, can command the corresponding ships. These include the largest vessels in the Navy, such as aircraft carriers, large missile cruisers and nuclear submarines. A ship of first rank and, accordingly, its captain has seniority over ships of lower rank. In Russia, at the moment, ships of the first rank include such ships as “Admiral Kuznetsov”, “Admiral Nakhimov” (nuclear-powered missile cruiser) and so on.
Sometimes in the navy you can find the title of engineer-captain of the 1st rank for engineering-floating personnel. It was introduced already in the Soviet Union in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Fleet in 1971, and then moved to the USSR Navy and began to apply to senior engineering and technical personnel.
Differences between shoulder straps
The shoulder straps of a captain of the 1st rank practically correspond to the shoulder straps of a colonel in the ground forces and aviation, with the exception of color. They are black with gold lines and stars in the ceremonial version, and have a gold (yellow) color with black lines. Every valiant profession has its heroes. It is about outstanding captains of the 1st rank that we will discuss further.
Hero posthumously
Captain 1st rank is a hero of Russia, who was born in 1955 in the Volgograd region. He commanded the notorious sunken submarine "Kursk" of the K-141 project. After graduating from school, he decided to enter the Leningrad Higher Naval School of the Lenin Komsomol. Over the entire existence of this school, more than a hundred of its graduates received the rank of admiral, and 16 became Heroes of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. In 1998, in connection with reforms in the Navy, the school was merged with the Higher Naval School named after M. V. Frunze. The educational institution changed its name to the St. Petersburg Naval Institute.
On August 10, during a scheduled patrol, the Kursk submarine disappeared from radar; none of the crew made contact for more than two days. Domestic and foreign specialists were sent to rescue the sailors. Unfortunately, there was no good news for the relatives. As a result, it became known that on August 12, 2000, Lyachin and the entire personnel of the submarine died. This disaster of the agro-industrial complex has become one of the most tragic in the recent history of modern Russia. Captain Gennady Lyachin was presented to the Hero of Russia posthumously. He was buried at the Seraphim Cemetery along with members of his crew. The Volgograd school where he studied was named after him.
Captain 1st Rank Alexey Dimitrov
Another outstanding officer and hero of the Russian Federation is Alexey Dimitrov, the commander of a nuclear submarine. Alexei’s father is also a captain of the 1st rank, commanded the well-known submarine K-19. After graduating from school in 1990, Alexey did not face the question of his future fate. He entered the naval school. After training, he began military service on the Tiger multi-purpose submarine.
After receiving the rank of captain 1st rank, he served on the following submarines: “Wolf”, “Leopard”, “Vepr”, “Cheetah” and “Panther”. He now commands the crew of the Tiger submarine. During the exercises of the Northern and Pacific fleets, his crew received high praise from Vysotsky. In 2006 and 2009, the submarines under the command of Captain Dmitrov were recognized as the best in the country's navy.
From frigate to majestic vessel
The next captain I would like to talk about is Sergei Zakharovich Balk. He was born in 1866 in the family of a retired military man. In 1887 he graduated from the Naval School. After that, he served on the frigate “General Admiral”, and from 1890 to 1892 he served on the cruiser “Minin”.
Captain V.F. Rudnev spoke about Balka as follows: “When performing the most serious job duties, he does not experience any problems, does everything clearly, confidently, efficiently and with great enthusiasm. He is well versed in maritime affairs, and people often turn to him for advice. He is efficient and knows how to obey, but in terms of combat he requires more diligence. He is a straightforward, honest and fair person. An excellent comrade and subordinate."
Captain "Ermak" D. F. Yuryev, who treated Balk with contempt, notes that he has a special craving for dangers caused by storms, war, natural disasters, for life-threatening campaigns, he is always eager to be the first to fight, because he dreams about heroic deeds. These circumstances ignite his passion and enthusiasm. It is in such dangerous circumstances that he can bring the greatest benefit to the Russian Empire.
For courage and courage during emergency incidents, Sergei Zakharovich was awarded the Order for saving those who died in 1890. Thanks to his personal qualities, Balk made a good impression on the command and was appointed captain of the tugboat "Strong". By the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, Balk had gained great fame in the Russian fleet for his unbending character. He was entrusted with the most complex and difficult tasks. He was highly respected by the sailors. Balk’s finest hour was the defense of Port Arthur, where he and his crew on their tugboat “Strong” provided invaluable assistance to ships damaged in battle.
Despite his great desire to join the fight, he understood the full responsibility of his work. Balk recalls his participation in the rescue of the damaged battleship Retvizan as follows: “I used to feel sadness and remorse that I was here, on a tugboat, and not on a destroyer, so that I could throw myself into the thick of the battle. But when you see that it is our “Strong Man” who is saving one of the best ships in Russia, you feel your importance and significance, and it immediately becomes easier.” Even in this difficult time, in the fall of 1904, Balk always looked confident and joked a lot. One of his colleagues recalls how they worked together with officials to obtain the necessary materials. For greater success, they waited for shelling from the Japanese, and after the last one (during which a Japanese shell fell a few meters from the office), upon entering the office, Balk loudly said in his bass voice: “Oh, that was a great bang!” Wow, damn it, it exploded right at our door. The cross-eyed ones took good aim!”
After the Russo-Japanese War, on December 6, 1910, he received a captain of 1st rank. After that, he commanded the patrol ship "BORDERMAN", and in January 1913 he was transferred to the transport ship "Riga". There he began to drink a lot, and thoughts of suicide increasingly came into his head, but everyone treated his words as a drunken joke. On February 27, 1914, he shot himself in his cabin. Balk was buried in the Helsingfors cemetery.
Finally
Not everyone knows, but the uncle of the head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, Shelomov Ivan Ivanovich (1904-1973), a veteran of the USSR Navy, was also a captain of the 1st rank. He began his military service as a cadet (1924-1926) at the Naval School. From 1926 to 1930 he studied at the M. V. Frunze Naval School. After this, he served at the headquarters of the Baltic Fleet and was repeatedly rewarded for courage, valor and good service.

Born before the war, in July 1939, into a peasant family in Penza, after serving in the Armed Forces, in 1961 he chose for himself the path of a submariner, entering the Pacific Higher Naval School. And in 1966, his thorny and glorious path as a submarine officer began, when for the first time he understood what underwater confrontation meant during the conflict around the captured American intelligence ship Pueblo. Before the passions in the Sea of Japan had subsided, in 1971 the nuclear submarine K-31, on which Alexander Ivanovich was the chief mate, departed for the Indian Ocean as part of the 10th Soviet squadron in order to neutralize the conflict around newly independent Bangladesh. The Soviet people in those days lived with a sense of peace, but under the water, on the water and above the water there was already a war going on, and not a “cold” one, but a real “hot” one...
Already in 1973, he became the commander of a nuclear submarine, his authority was already recognized in the fleet, and yet he was only a captain of the 3rd rank. Participated in the famous exercises "Ocean - 75". Along with authority came skill, boldness of attacks, confidence in the coherence of the crew and the belief that the number of dives will always be equal to the number of ascents.
The year 1976 became special in the life of our commander, when he became the commander of the newest nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine. It was ships of this class, together with strategic missile forces and strategic aviation, that cooled the hotheads overseas throughout the years of the Cold War. And one of those who created this “sobering shower” was Alexander Ivanovich Samokhvalov.
Often, fellow commanders made fun of his last name, but Alexander Ivanovich never praised himself; his modesty was an example for many, both junior officers and admirals, many of whom were trained and educated by him. The crowning achievement of the crew of Alexander Samokhvalov was the under-ice passage of the nuclear cruiser from the Northern to the Pacific Fleet under the ice of the North Pole, for which the Motherland awarded the commander its highest order - Lenin. And on the pages of the “Atlas of Underwater Depths” the following inscription appeared: “To Captain 1st Rank Samokhvalov A.I. in honor of the trans-Arctic transition from the Northern to the Pacific Fleet. The Motherland has entrusted you with a responsible task that requires deep professional titles, rich command experience, high self-control and courage. Be a worthy heir to the heroic glory of the first Soviet conquerors of the harsh Arctic. The voyage you completed will take its rightful place among the remarkable deeds of submariners of the Red Banner Northern Fleet.”
In 1982, the crew of a nuclear missile carrier under the command of Alexander Ivanovich will initiate socialist competition in the Navy of the USSR. People of the older generation remember that this was the highest honor for any commander, especially in the year of the 50th anniversary of the Land of the Soviets.
In 1985, Captain 1st Rank Samokhvalov was appointed deputy head of the Kyiv Higher Naval Political School in order to give his experience and knowledge to future conquerors of the underwater depths.
Today Alexander Ivanovich is on a well-deserved, as they say in such cases, rest. But seeing with what energy he still gives all of himself to the younger generation, I just want to say: “Our commander is always young.”
And it is no coincidence that his granddaughter Dashenka Marchenko dedicated more than one of her simple poems to her grandfather.
...I'm glad that my grandfather is exactly like this:
A simple submariner...
Not everyone is awarded this word,
But only the best.
Thank you, grandfather, for your kindness, love and affection,
For wise advice,
For the fairy tale you gave me
And every question has an answer.
...Well, what else can you say when the topic of fathers and children always remains relevant in the world. Yes, there is a theme. But, as we see, there is also an answer to eternal questions. Granddaughter's answer...

Ship ranks in the navy are used in the Russian Navy and are assigned to sailors to the extent they are able to take responsibility for the command of a particular military personnel. They are also assigned to the military coast guard of the border troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, underwater and surface units of the Navy and naval units of the troops.
Almost all naval ranks differ from the missile and ground forces, airborne forces and airborne forces. From 1884 to 1991 they changed due to a number of events:
- the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917;
- the creation of the Soviet Union and its subsequent collapse 1922-1991;
- creation of the Russian Federation in 1991
Modern ranks in the navy are divided into 4 categories:
1. Conscripts of conscript and contract service. These include: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, petty officer of the first class and the chief petty officer. The senior ranks also include a midshipman and a senior midshipman.
2. Junior officers of the fleet. These are: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant and lieutenant commander.
3. Senior officers of the Navy. Ranks are divided into: captains of the third, second and first rank.
4. Senior officers. Consists of: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral and fleet admiral.
