ABSTRACT
On November 8, 1975, during the time of the October Revolution celebrations, a large antisubmarine ship named Storozhevoi raised anchor at the Riga naval base and set sail for the open sea. This chapter presents the results of the investigation of the emergency situation on the large antisubmarine ship Storozhevoi that took place on November 8-9, 1975. The former deputy commander for political matters of the large antisubmarine ship Storozhevoi and others directly responsible for the events on the ship have been turned over to the investigative organs so that criminal charges can be brought against them. As the Storozhevoi moved toward the Gulf of Riga, constant pursuit by the forces of the fleet and border ships was organized. The Storozhevoi, at 1032 hours on November 9, 1975, was stopped twenty-one miles outside the territorial waters of the state border of the USSR and fifty miles from the territorial waters of Sweden.
