Relevance. The issue of Ukrainian submarine navigation has received undeservedly little attention in the modern research literature. Despite the objective importance and the fundamentally innovative potential of this topic, little constructive investigation has been carried out so far in this area.
Purpose. This paper aims to conduct a detailed prosographic analysis of the Odesa branch of the Ukrainian School of Submarine Navigation, which operated between 1877 and 1905. The study focuses on understanding the internal dynamics and the broader impact of this branch on national and international submarine navigation practices.
Methodology. The study employed the methods of comparative analysis, hindsight, induction, and deduction, using both online and archival sources to cover as much information on the topic as possible. Cliometric studies were also conducted.
Results. The presented study provides a prosographic analysis of the Odesa branch of the Ukrainian School of Submarine Navigation, which operated from 1877 to 1905. The branch’s basic structure has been defined. Various types of connections have been identified. The influence of the representatives of the Odesa branch on the representatives of other branches and national schools of submarine navigation that functioned in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century is illustrated.
Conclusions. The findings will provide a solid basis for further scientific efforts in this area and for making strategic decisions to protect Ukraine's maritime interests. This investigation can also be used as a source of educational literature for historical and educational materials.
