Over time, the Black Sea has been a bridge between the mysterious and promising East rich in resources and the civilized West of old Europe. The sea, this blue window opens to the world, with which Romanian was blessed allowed the inhabitants of these lands to establish solid bridges of communication with many of the peoples of the world. Owen the years, across the Planetary Ocean in general and in the Black Sea in particular, the Romanian Navy has not been bypassed by storms, catastrophes and naval accidents, resulting in the sinking of dozens of ships and significant loss of life.
