Description

Focusing on an Eastern Theater Command submarine flotilla, this report emphasizes "actual combat" as the fundamental standard for training. It describes rigorous drills where crews handle sudden equipment malfunctions—such as smoking valves or depth changes—to ensure they can operate effectively without panic under pressure. The article also discusses tactical innovation, such as counter-hunting surface ships, and the development of "mini-inventions" by crew members to solve technical bottlenecks.
