Sea toast

There are many good and different toasts. Sailors on a voyage raise a toast to their loved ones, home, family. And at home - for the sailor’s safe return home. One good man put together the most popular sea toasts. I invite readers to familiarize themselves with the most popular of them:

FOR A GREAT SHIP, A GREAT VOYAGE! (English: A great ship asks deep water) - a traditional wish for good sailing and success.

FOR A LARGE SHIP – A LARGE TORPEDO.

FOR FRIENDSHIP OF SAILORS! - old traditional English sea toast.

FOR THE SAILORS! – traditional Russian sea toast.

FOR THE SAILORS AND THEIR WIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS! – traditional Russian sea toast.

FOR NEPTUNE, JUPITER, FOR THE SAILORS FROM ST. Petersburg! - toast of Leningrad (St. Petersburg) sailors.

FOR THE STRENGTH OF A ROBUST CASE! - a traditional toast of Russian submariners.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE ROCKS NOW! – traditional Russian sea toast.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT SEA! – traditional Russian sea toast.

"We'll leave the shore soon,
The hour for the hike is near.
Friends, for those who are at sea -
And not for the last time!”

"May their lucky star shine on them"
And the course in the sea will be correct.
Our third toast today and always:
“For those sailors, for those at sea!”

FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT SEA, ON WATCH AND GAUPTWACH! – traditional Russian sea toast.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN NAVIGATION AND THOSE WHO ARE IN HOUSEHOLDING! – traditional Russian sea toast.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT HOME (WAITING FOR US ON THE SHORE)! - traditional Russian sea toast, this is the THIRD TOAST pronounced at sea.

LAST ON THE GANWAY (eng. One for the gangway) - a humorous toast, last glass wine, which is offered to the guest before he leaves the ship (to “make it easier to go down the gangway”). Mor. variant of the land toast - “one more for the road”, “for the road” - “A last drink before a guest leaves the ship. Ex. the shere* – going “one for the road”.

SEVEN FEET UNDER THE KEEL - traditionally a wish (toast) of good luck, good sailing.

“There is a spirit! They didn’t kill him in us!
And my toast today is:
Seven feet, friends, under your keel!
For the fleet and its sailors"

THIRD TOAST! – a traditional toast (the third in a row) to the sailors – TO THOSE WHO ARE AT SEA! - it is pronounced on the shore. The THIRD TOAST is pronounced at sea - TO THOSE WHO ARE AT HOME!

“Our third toast from time immemorial.
The Navy does not change traditions.
And the third toast, to the sailors.
He always raises"

SO THAT THE WIND BLOWS STRONGER IN YOUR JIVER! (English: More wind in your jib!) - a traditional wish for good wind to an oncoming ship sailing with a tailwind, from one who is sailing against the wind. According to the old English belief, after such a wish, the wind will be on the side of the one who wished it to another.

SO THAT THE SEA AND OCEANS DO NOT DRY UP, SO THAT WE ARE NOT LEFT WITHOUT WORK! - the traditional toast of all sailors and fishermen.

SO THAT THE NUMBER OF DIVES (SURGENCIES) ALWAYS EQUALS THE NUMBER OF SURFACES (DIVES) - a traditional toast of Russian submariners.

Let us drink to those who have sailed for a long time on the stormy sea of life and successfully overcome all the storms and waves! (The philosopher Plato was asked: “You traveled a lot by sea. What was the most amazing thing that happened to you during these voyages?” “The most amazing thing every time happened,” Plato answered, “that I eventually landed safely on the shore. Let’s drink to those who sailed for a long time on the stormy sea of life, successfully overcame all the storms and waves!)

The cabin rears up
And the horizon is in a dangerous tilt,
But there is no more beautiful fate
Don't fall to your knees in battle.
And I would like
Among storms and thunderstorms
This is how to live in a raging expanse.
To deserve a toast one day,
Severe toast
"For those who are at sea"!

Submariners are special guys,
Their work rivals the titans and gods.
Today, on a wonderful date,
I offer us a drink for them!

May their lucky star shine on them
And the course in the sea will be correct.
Our third toast today and always:
"For the sailors, for those at sea!

Let's drink to those on board!
Those who are overboard will get drunk themselves...

Well, what can I tell you, my captain?
You have landed on your native shores again.
Do you remember, we promised each other
Never be separated again.
Let's drink to your love
To the element that is called the sea,
She, of course, misses you,
Bringing you back to me again and again.
And so that she would be kinder to you,
And may you come back soon.

It happened in our fleet:
When we are all together with friends,
That very first best toast
We have this: “FOR those who are at sea!”

This toast is for our sailors, for their successes,
So that they always return to their native shores.
Fair wind and seven feet under keel!

A submariner, finding himself in any company, will definitely say to himself at the third toast, “For those who are at sea,” even if the toastmaster proposes for the newlyweds or parents. This toast involves wishing good luck to those who are now at sea and honoring the memory of those who remained there forever.

For the entire peaceful existence of Soviet and Russian navies Since the sixties, more than eight hundred submariners have remained “forever at sea.” You don’t know about most of them and will never know: it is the Americans who make feature films about them, praising their heroism, award them posthumously with state awards, recognizing their exploits, and even bury their bodies with honors, which the Soviet government refuses.

Diesel submarine S-80. "Autonomy of the Dead"

The submarine sank on January 27, 1961 at 00 hours 27 minutes. The cause of the accident was freezing of the float valve in the RDP shaft (diesel operation under water) and the entry of sea water into the housing. The sailor on duty at the manual valve, in a panic, mixed up the valve and closed the wrong one (according to another version, he pressed the valve handle in the other direction, bending the stem, since he was sure that he was closing it because he was seconded from another project). 68 people died. Some of them were crushed by outboard pressure, some died of suffocation within a week after the accident (according to pathologists). Two people committed suicide: one sailor hanged himself in the first compartment (and hung in a noose for seven years), and the midshipman closed the terminals with his hands battery. The boat was raised from the ground only seven years later. The bodies of those who were not torn to pieces by the pressure were well preserved; the pathologists who performed autopsies on the bodies in the landing hold of the KFOR could not believe their eyes.

Nuclear submarine K-19 "Hiroshima"

The most "unlucky" submarine Soviet Union. Soviet sailors called it "Hiroshima", and the Americans called it "Widowmaker". Over the entire history of this boat, 37 people died on it.

The first serious accident occurred on July 4, 1961 at 4:15 am. The reactor's emergency protection tripped, the primary circuit ruptured and the reactor cooling pumps jammed. Rapid heating of the reactor core began. At that time, scientists had not yet discovered OTKR (negative temperature coefficient of reactivity) and submariners believed that a thermal explosion of the reactor would lead to a nuclear explosion. It was decided to assemble an emergency reactor cooling scheme using personnel.

The oldest in the group of volunteers, Lieutenant Boris Korchilov, was 23 years old at that time. Having received radiation doses incompatible with life, the sailors assembled a cooling circuit, but the background radiation on the boat continued to grow. Due to a broken antenna, it was not possible to transmit a distress signal and the commander of the boat to 2 r Zateev decided to go not towards the base, but towards the curtain of diesel submarines, which was located south of the accident site. By his order, all small arms were drowned, leaving only him and the senior assistant with pistols. The distress signal transmitted by a low-power receiver was received by all submarines, but only one of them, S-270, under the command of 3 r Zhan Sverbilov, left the convoy and, violating all orders, rushed to the aid of K-19. Captain 3rd rank Sverbilov was subsequently punished for his self-will.

In a similar situation with the submarine K-219, which was sinking in the Bay of Bermuda, Captain 1st Rank Popov (future commander of the Northern Fleet), having received a distress signal, passed by without changing course, remembering how Sverbilov got it. The S-270 arrived aboard K-19 and took on board the seriously wounded along the bow horizontal rudders (three of them could no longer walk). One of the headquarters officers, who was on board K-19 and tried to escape ahead of the victims, Zhan Sverbilov ordered his assistant to shoot on the spot, after which order was restored. For more than three days, the S-270 submarine towed the K-19 in a severe storm until the order was received to transfer the affected ships aboard the surface ships.

“Before falling asleep, I thought that our crew had done a holy deed. All the boats participating in the exercises received Kolya Zateev’s radio, but no one except us went to him. If not for our S-270 "They would all have died, and there were more than 100 of them..." - from the memoirs of Zhan Sverbilov, commander of the S-270.

K-19 sailors who received exorbitant doses of radioactive radiation and died painfully in medical centers, will be buried without publicity in Moscow, Leningrad and Zelenogorsk. The proposals to award the titles of “Hero of the Soviet Union” to Sverbilov and Korchilov were rejected by the country’s leadership.

Based on this tragedy, director Kathleen Bigelow made the film “K-19 Leaves Widows” starring Harrison Ford and Liam Nissan. Despite all the inevitable mistakes and artistic assumptions, the film shows the courage and bravery of Soviet sailors and is a must-watch. The next, infamous incident occurred with the same boat on February 24, 1972. If you have ever heard the song "9th Compartment", then it is about this case. At 10.23, a carbon monoxide afterburning device caught fire in compartment 9.

Instead of localizing the accident, the sailor on watch ran to wake up Chief Petty Officer Alexander Vasiliev: Vasiliev, having ordered everyone to leave the compartment, rushed to put out the fire, which by that time had grown into a massive fire. He burned alive while saving his comrades. The boat emergency surfaced in a force nine storm. Combustion products began flowing from the ninth compartment into the eighth. All the personnel of the compartment, who by this time had not been included in respiratory protective equipment, died from suffocation at combat posts, only the commander of the movement division, Lieutenant Commander Viktor Milovanov, managed to shut down the reactors, leave the compartment and go to the seventh, where he lost consciousness from poisoning carbon monoxide. In the seventh compartment, midshipman Alexander Novichkov helped the confused sailors put on respiratory protection. Saving them, he died. The submarine was on the surface, without moving, with the ninth compartment partially flooded, in which the fire continued to rage, and the eighth and seventh compartments were gassed.

But the submarine of this project has ten compartments and I am sure that most of you do not know the history of this tenth compartment. In the tenth compartment, cut off from the rest, were twelve sailors under the leadership of Captain-Lieutenant Polyakov, the manager of the power plant, who saved all of their lives.

For twenty-three days (think about it!) twelve people sat in pitch darkness in an iron barrel with an air temperature of +4 degrees. They breathed air, which was gradually bled from the trim system, the pressure was removed through the depth gauge's seam, they drank water through a tube from the tank, breaking its measuring glass and reaching the lower, non-pumpable level. The only food they had was salt and pasta. Raw pasta, of course. When they came for them, only two could somehow stand on their feet. They were taken out blindfolded so that they would not go blind from daylight.

Guess how many people received the title of Hero? The correct answer is none. Did you even know about these people? Did you learn courage and heroism from their examples when you were little?

K-3 "Leninsky Komsomol"

The first nuclear submarine of the Soviet Union. On September 8, 1967, a massive fire occurred on the boat in compartments 1 and 2. The fire occurred due to an abnormal gasket in the hydraulic system. The gasket could not withstand the pressure and, in a sprayed state, the hydraulics got onto the lampshade, which led to a massive fire. The fire killed 39 people. They were burned alive. One of them, captain-lieutenant Anatoly Malyar, while burning, managed to slam the bulkhead hatch from the second to the third compartment, which saved the rest of the crew. The commission recognized the actions of the crew as heroic and nominated the crew members for awards (including those who died), but the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy S. Gorshkov announced that the accident was the fault of the crew and that’s all: the survivors and the dead turned from heroes into criminals. Only 45 years later, when the classification of secrecy was removed from the circumstances of the accident, did the sailors manage to restore their good name. K-129 sank in March 1968, presumably due to a collision with a surface ship. 97 people died.
K-8. Fire. 52 people. This list can be continued, but I’ll tell you about one more person and, this time, that’s enough.

On October 7, 1986, the K-219 submarine sank while returning from its thirteenth cruise. Four people died, the rest of the crew was rescued by the commander, Captain 2nd Rank Britanov, who was appointed “extreme” in this accident and was dishonorably discharged from the fleet. The accident occurred due to a leak in missile silo No. 6, which everyone knew about for many years, but none of the headquarters and commands took it upon themselves to report the malfunction to the high command. Due to the crushing of the rocket body in the silo, rocket fuel oxidizer began to flow into the compartment. An emergency alarm was announced and the personnel left the compartment.

There were three people left in the compartment who died from suffocation. Then an explosion occurred in missile silo No. 6. The submarine sank sharply in depth, but thanks to the decisive and prompt actions of the crew, it floated to the surface, blowing out the main ballast. At the same time, a critical increase in the temperature of the reactor was noticed, which could lead to a core meltdown and radioactive contamination of Bermuda Bay. The rods of the compensating grids were not remotely controlled and it was decided to lower them manually.

Senior Lieutenant Nikolai Belikov and sailor Sergei Preminin, who was 20 years old at that time, entered the equipment enclosure, in which by that time the temperature had reached 70 degrees, in addition, poisonous gases from burnt rocket fuel were spreading throughout the boat. The rods are lowered manually using a handle similar to that of a meat grinder, only larger in size. After three of the four bars were lowered, Nikolai Belikov lost consciousness. Sailor Preminin carried it out and returned to lower the fourth grate. He lowered it, but was no longer able to leave the compartment: due to changes in temperature and pressure, the door jammed and no effort could be made to open it from the next compartment. Sergei died either from suffocation or from overheating.

Did you know anything about him? Did you know that the title of Hero Russian Federation Posthumously for preventing a nuclear accident, he was awarded only in 1997, thanks to some public figures.

Commander Britanov ordered the crew to abandon ship and board a Soviet merchant ship that arrived in time. In the photo, Captain 2nd Rank Britanov dispatches the last batch of submariners from the nuclear submarine and remains alone on the ship. In the background is a NATO Orion reconnaissance aircraft. He himself stood on the bridge until the last moment and guarded the ship from possible attempts to be captured by enemy forces with a Kalashnikov assault rifle in his hands. He left the ship only when there were a few centimeters left from the water's edge to the wheelhouse. And then he waited for trial for almost a year, but was pardoned and dismissed from the navy.

And then the naval aviation pilots who dropped insulating materials onto the boat breathing apparatus, which turned out to be almost all without regenerative cartridges, staged a massive fight with rear officers in Kaliningrad. And then four countries made the film “Hostile Waters,” dedicated to the feat of sailor Sergei Preminin. France, Germany, UK and USA. And Peter Huthausen, the naval attache of the American Embassy in Moscow, collected and sent to the US government documents for awarding Sergei Preminin with the Purple Heart medal.

There is noise and running around on the Russian military cruiser. The commander shouts into a bullhorn:
— Who pressed the red button? Who pressed the red button?
An American military cruiser sails past. The American captain shouts into a bullhorn:
— Russian friends, don’t worry! America will help you!
- Where is it now, your America?! — the Russian captain answers and continues shouting into the bullhorn:
— Who pressed the red button?
So let's drink to always relying only on ourselves! For our armed forces!

A huge military cruiser sails in poor visibility conditions. Suddenly lights become visible right in front of him.
- Hey, can’t you see, this is a cruiser with a displacement of forty thousand tons! Roll up!
- Roll it yourself! Can't you see that this is a lighthouse?!
So let's drink to our dear sailors on their professional holiday and wish them what we usually wish for before sailing: seven feet under the keel!

Once they told me this joke about sailors. A young man comes to the recruiting office for an interview. The major asks him:
—Where would you like to serve?
— Since childhood, I dreamed of the sea.

***

In those days, when sailors were considered the last tramps, a young sailor walked into a crowded port tavern.

I'm the strongest in this bar! - he said, having barely drunk the first glass of beer. The sailors looked at each other and drank.

I am the strongest in this port! — the sailor raised his voice after drinking a second glass of beer. The sailors looked at each other and drank.
- Yes, I am the strongest in all the ports of the world! - the bully shouted after the third mug of beer and slammed it on the floor so that the fragments scattered in different directions. Then a stocky old boatswain with huge hammer fists slowly stood up from his place and crushed the troublemaker with a strong blow to the forehead. Falling and losing consciousness, the new guy managed to utter a sacramental phrase:
- Why didn’t I stop at this port?
So let's drink so that we know when to stop!
***

So that there are no terrible incidents
***

The old pirate, already retired, tells his grandchildren different funny stories from his stormy biography.
“Grandfather,” the grandchildren ask, “have you ever had any terrible incidents?” The old pirate thought about it and lit his pipe.
“Yes,” he finally said, “I remember one terrible incident... This is when we almost ran out of rum!”
So let’s drink so that such “terrible” incidents will never happen at our table!
***

For hope
***

There is a service in the maritime church, and the pastor is teaching the sailors.
***

Imagine a terrible storm, your ship does not obey the rudder and is driven into the reefs. Death is near. And what to do in this terrible moment if not to raise your hands to the sky and...
***

The anchor must be cast, three thousand devils,” the hoarse, salty voice of an old sea dog is heard from the back rows, “the anchor!”
***

So let's drink so that we know what to do in a difficult situation, so that we have an anchor at hand and something to hook it to. As the British say: “The anchor is my hope!” Here's to your hopes!
***

For the love of faithful and devoted women
***

History reports that on one of the pirate ships there was a girl named Mary dressed in a man's dress, who did not betray her feminine nature in any way. And she was secretly in love with the young navigator. And when an old pirate challenged him to a duel in a quarrel, she herself, ahead of her lover, challenged the offender to a duel. The pirate's duel with Mary took place on a deserted island. The pirate was stronger than Mary, but the girl was more agile. And yet, at one point, the pirate’s blade cut the shirt on Mary’s body, so that she was dazzlingly exposed beautiful breasts. The pirate was taken aback by surprise, and it cost him his head. So Mary’s love saved the life of the young navigator...
***

So let's drink to the love of faithful and devoted women who protect us on long voyages!
***

For good luck
***

The old seasoned captain, puffing on his pipe, shares his memories with the young freshman sailors.
- I remember a terrible storm. My ship did not obey the rudder, the masts were broken... And then a terrible high wave, a “rogue wave,” swooped in and drowned my vessel in the depths of the sea! Not a single person was saved...
- Excuse me, what about you? - the newcomers are surprised.
- I? — the captain asks thoughtfully, blowing smoke. - And I was in London at that time!
So let's drink so that when some trouble happens, we stay away from it! Here's to good luck!
***

They say that the captain knows everything. But rats know more. So let's drink to the fact that our knowledge will also always allow us to escape on time!
***

The hand of our sailor is strong! Sailors, our toast is to you!
***

A sailor stumbles into the captain's cabin, filled with boxes of whiskey and canned meat, almost collapsing from exhaustion. The captain meets the sailor, holding a pistol in each hand.
“Captain,” the sailor babbles, “we’ve been drifting for three weeks already... People are dying like flies... You hid all the provisions in your cabin...
- It's my duty! - the captain firmly declares, “I am obliged to leave the ship last.”
Let's drink to self-sacrifice!
***

What can you wish for a young sailor - take in tow good wife, decent income, reliable ship and calm seas!
***

The sea wolf knows a lot about this. For the sea wolves!
***

The sailor wets the cotton wool with alcohol and wipes the device. The boatswain enters:
- What are you doing?!
- I’m cleaning the compass on your orders!
-Who cleans like that?
He takes a bottle of alcohol, takes a sip, breathes on the cotton wool and wipes the compass. Let's drink to the experience!
***

The boatswain tells the sailors how he once fell overboard and fought with ten sharks. Of course he won! One second-year sailor timidly remarks:
- Comrade boatswain, last year you said that there were five sharks!
- Eh, last year you were too small and could have been scared!!! - the boatswain remarked.
So let's drink to never underestimate your merits!
***

Jung bought a dictionary maritime terms, leafed through and was disappointed!
- Well, they slipped a dictionary! Not a single word used by a boatswain!
So let's drink so that we can understand each other without any dictionaries!
***

For bloody wars and cruel pestilence (based on the history of assigning ranks in the British Navy, the toast is interpreted as for promotion);

***

For our beloved women not to date our wives.
