Day of the Russian Navy Engineer-Mechanic
January 10 · Level 1 · #2095 of 2238
This is a professional day for the naval officers who look after the engines, power plants and machinery of ships and submarines. Without them no vessel would leave port.
How it is celebrated: ships and units hold solemn gatherings, hand out awards and congratulate colleagues.
On modern nuclear submarines, engineer-mechanics are also responsible for the nuclear reactor that supplies the boat with power and propulsion.
