The Higher Naval School of Submarine Navigation, formally the Higher Naval School of Submarine Navigation named after Leninsky Komsomol (Russian: Высшее военно-морское училище подводного плавания имени Ленинского Комсомола), was a higher naval education institution in Saint Petersburg which prepared prospective officers for commissions in the Soviet and later Russian Navy. The school opened during the later stages of the Second World War as the Leningrad Naval Preparatory School, to train candidates for service in the Soviet Navy. After four years of operation it was renamed the 1st Baltic Higher Naval School with an expanded four-year training curriculum to produce watch officers for the navy. By the early 1950s it had begun to specialise in submarine training, and in 1954 it was renamed the 1st Higher Naval School of Submarine Navigation, and increasingly focussed on training officers for service in the Soviet Navy's expanding submarine forces. Education concentrated on the new submarine types and technologies entering service, and the heads of the school and many of the teachers were drawn from experienced former submariners. In 1958, the school was given the name Leninsky Komsomol, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Komsomol, and 1960, transitioned to a five-year training curriculum. The school continued to function during the years of glasnost and perestroika, and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, when it became an educational institution of the Russian Navy. It suffered from the dislocation of the 1990s, experiencing a drop in recruitment, and shortages in funding. In 1998, the Higher Naval School of Submarine Navigation was merged with the M. V. Frunze Higher Naval School to create the Saint Petersburg Naval Institute. Over its years of operation, more than a hundred graduates of the school became admirals, and 16 officers were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union or Hero of the Russian Federation.
