Students at the controls, crew members providing support,

the head of the training task group told reporters

is a major highlight of this internship.

will also leverage the "training ship + frigate"

group training advantages

to create a realistic combat scenario

and conduct live maritime "red-blue confrontation."

▲Ship officers and students discussing and exchanging insights

addressing their feelings of skill anxiety

before heading to their first duty station

by organizing visits to various main battle ships

and sharing experiences,

guiding students to establish and practice

a correct view of achievements from the "beginning of their official duties."

Forging swords and honing talents,

determined to strengthen the military and venture into the deep blue.

students solemnly wrote down

their goals for the sea internship,

looking forward to delivering an excellent report

in the "floating university at sea."
