Soviet Naval Brigade Veteran Squad

With the Soviet navy largely confined to its harbours, many sailors serve on the front lines as infantrymen, often still wearing their black naval uniforms with distinctive caps and striped telnyashka undershirts. Numerous specialised naval infantry formations are created, including forty brigades and five regiments. They earn a strong reputation for tenacity and daring, both in defensive battles and in coastal landing operations on the Baltic and Black Seas.
