According to CCTV News: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the officers and soldiers of a submarine unit from the Eastern Theater Command received orders to set sail. At this moment, they are quietly maneuvering beneath the deep sea, guarding the lights and reunions of thousands of families.

In order to respond to any sudden enemy situations that may arise at sea, the crew focused on conducting offensive and defensive team training before departure.
