TacHel Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Instituted in 1985. Awarded to the most distinguished, highly disciplined military and civilian personnel of the Navy who participated in long-range cruises on vessels of the Navy, provided that the missions were successful. For all vessels, distance requirements for award, transition from one ocean to another; for vessels of under 1000 tons, a 30 day cruise with a distance of at least 500 miles from departure point; for vessels of over 1000 tons, a 45 day cruise depending on home port, Northern Fleet - the limits of the Norwegian Sea, Pacific fleet – 3000 miles from point of origin, Black Sea Fleet and the Novorossiysk Naval district - outside of the Aegean Sea, Baltic fleet - beyond the North Sea. Specifically for submarines, a cruise with no docking amounting to more than half of the full autonomy of the vessel.
TacHel Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 Correction NOT 1985... Instituted on 22 May 1961 by order 149 of the commander of the Soviet Navy.
