The article characterizes the role of the Fleet Officers Society in manning the lower ranks of the Russian submarine fleet in the early twentieth century. Such a problem was one of the debatable in the light of the defeat of the Russian Navy in the Russian-Japanese War of 1904 - 1905. The recruitment of sailors and non-commissioned officers for the Russian submarine fleet was repeatedly discussed until the beginning of the twentieth century. Members of the Society of Fleet Officers have written and presented for discussion of their colleagues the project on recruitment of lower ranks for the Russian fleet taking into account the experience of the lost Russian-Japanese war of 1904 - 1905.
