Russian Federation Fleet commanders awarding commemorative medals

[TacHel]

So far I've identified at least two commemorative medals that were established on the authority of a naval fleet commander, not the minister of defence. I know there are more such awards out there but these two I have purchased and have the award documents clearly mentioning them as the establishing and bestowing authority. These medals called "commemorative or memorial badges" are worn on the military uniform after state and ministerial awards.

Below is the Commemorative Medal "275 Years of the Pacific Fleet"

This is the award document clearly showing the award authority as the fleet commander.

Commemorative medal (memorial badge) "70 Years of the Northern Fleet".

And again, an official Navy award certificate clearly mentioning the fleet commander as the bestowing authority.

Here's one from the commander of air base 2011 (air base and Pacific Fleet's naval air defence base), denoting the 70th anniversary of the base 1938-2008.

And award document.

Yet another from the commander of the Pacific Fleet for "Veteran of the Pacific Fleet". (I guess being really far from Moscow has some advantages).

And award document, not quite as ornate as previous ones, but nonetheless also quite clearly identifying the fleet commander as the bestowing authority.
