During this time, the organization was able to combine more than three thousand troops from around the world Twenty years afloat. Petersburg Submariners Club on Tuesday celebrates its anniversary. During this time, the organization has grown not only in scale, it is now including more than three thousand people, and more than once helped the military and their families during such events as the tragedy at ASMC Kursk submarine crew protection Seal, the battle for the salvation of Aurora. Indeed, the main activities of the club now - assisting current and retired officers and their families.

In addition the club more than once received a letter of friendship from acting and being in honorable retirement admirals India, USA, England and France. Some, such as Rear Admiral Jean-Marie Mate themselves have membership cards. However, the success of the organization, the clubs chairman of the board of Captain 1st Rank Igor Kurdin though encouraging, but he can not help but note that there is in this anniversary and something sad. -the Biggest problem - the lack of an influx of new members. I see that every year the club is getting older, - said Igor Kurdin. - That is, once we have the average age was 40-50 years old, now I am afraid that it is older than 60. So I went - the old, the sick captain, nobody wanted. Meanwhile, the navy someone came lieutenant. We were on the ladder probably met. And now it took another 20 years. And now he, too, captain, and he, too, probably, now dismissed. But they do not come to the club. For some reason, they do not need a club. Whether it is a different generation, whether we have time club veterans of the Navy, and they do not consider themselves veterans. However, it seems Igor K. sighs still nothing. Friends at the club is still a lot. This coming Saturday at the Naval College of Peter the Great will congratulate the 20th anniversary of St. Petersburg Submariners Club. And among the guests and promises to be the Governor, Commander of the Navy, and many existing Admirals. Is not it figure?
