Abstract

Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian Naval Fleet (the Danube flotilla) was established in 1879 in the town of Ruse thanks to the overall Russian support. In 1897 the formation of a naval fleet was also started with its base in the city of Varna. Deliveries of vessels and military machinery came from France. French specialists helped in the organization of the Black Sea Fleet and the training of its crew. Bulgaria’s small naval fleet acted really well in the Balkan Wars. The Bulgarian officers and seamen successfully defended our sea coast. In the years of World War I Bulgaria was an ally to Germany. German deliveries helped the fleet modernization. In 1916 the first submarines joined the fleet and in 1917 Bulgarian water aircraft escadrille was formed. After the World War I the Bulgarian Naval Fleet was transformed to Sea and River Police Service.
