First, a brief overview of the history of this school.
The formation of a naval school for the training of command personnel for ships and parts of the fleet in Sevastopol was launched in accordance with the order of the People's Commissar of Defense No. 035 of 04/01/1937. The newly formed VMU was given the name "2nd Naval School".
More than two years later, by order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 241 dated 06/25/1939, the 2nd VMU was renamed the Black Sea Naval School. Then, in accordance with the decision of the Council of People's Commissars No. 963 of 07/05/1940 and the order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 294 of 07/10/1940, the school was transferred to the category of higher educational institutions and became known as the "Black Sea Higher Naval School (ChVVMU)".

After the outbreak of war in 1941, early graduations took place at ChVVMU. In August and September 1941, the ChVVMU was evacuated to Rostov-on-Don, and in November 1941, due to the approach of the front, the school was disbanded. Everyone went to the front.

In 1946, the school was restored, and on November 1, 1952, the first post-war graduation of officers took place.

In already "Ukrainian times", in 1992, ChVVMU was transformed into SVMI - the Sevastopol Naval Order of the Red Star Institute named after PS Nakhimov of the Navy. In 2009, on the basis of SVMI, in turn, the Academy of the Naval Forces of Ukraine named after P. S. Nakhimov (AVMS) was created.

In 2014, the school was once again recreated, and already on June 18, 2014, the first graduation of officers for the Russian Navy took place in it - as I understand it, graduate cadets began their studies back in the Ukrainian ABMS.
