The corps follows the traditions maintained by the original Russian cadet corps in the Imperial Russian Navy.[2] The process of its creation began on 25 April 1995 by order of the Mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak.[3][2] The corps was created at the insistence of President Boris Yeltsin and a joint decision Minister of Defense Pavel Grachev and Mayor Sobchak. On 1 October, the first 75 pupils were enrolled in the corps at Komarovo.[4] On 22 November, First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Igor Kasatonov presented to the cadet corps its first regimental colours. This day became an official holiday in the school.[5] In early 1996, it was transformed into a naval educational institution. The decree on 19 February of that year established a seven-year training period for the cadet corps. By August of that year, the maximum capacity was determined at 700 pupils. In 2000, the first graduation ceremony took place. On 1 December 2012, Admiral Viktor Chirkov presented new colours to the corps in a presentation ceremony.[6]
