[REGNUM] For the first time in modern history, the ceremony of raising the St. George naval flag was held in Sevastopol on the large landing ship (BDK) "Azov" of the Black Sea Fleet.
The ship received the stern St. George naval flag in memory of the feat accomplished by the ship of the same name in 1827. Then the battleship "Azov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Mikhail Lazarev in the Navarino battle entered into battle with five ships of the Turkish-Egyptian squadron and destroyed them.
The rite of consecration of the St. George naval flag was held in the Cathedral of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir - the tomb of admirals. After the consecration, the ceremony participants laid flowers at the graves of the admirals.
The stern flag was handed over to the captain of the ship to the ringing of bells, after which it was solemnly hoisted.
