Of course, there were once again impressive pictures of the large main parade of the naval forces of the Russian Federation in Saint Petersburg to mark the 326th anniversary of the founding of the Russian Federation, which dates back to Peter the Great at the end of the 17th century and was moved from 24 July to the last Sunday of the month in 1980.

It is a colourful ship that has been at the disposal of the French Navy for a few weeks now.

This makes it all the more worthwhile to take a close look not only at the present and future, but also at the history of the oceans. Because much of what has happened there...
