Feliks Gromov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Admiral of the Fleet Feliks Nikolayevich Gromov (Russian: Феликс Николаевич Громов; born August 29, 1937, Vladivostok) is a former Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy. He graduated from the Pacific Higher Naval School. From 1984 he was First Deputy Commander of the Northern Fleet and then its commander (appointed in 1988). Gromov is married and has a daughter and a son[1].

The Jamestown Foundation speculated that Gromov was dismissed because of a Russian Pacific Fleet ammunition explosion which seems to have attracted wide attention.
