Honing the Sword in Deep Blue, Forging Elite Troops for Sea Thunder Hunting
Waves surge and the horn sounds for mobilization
Recently, a certain brigade of the Southern Theater Command Navy
organized a fleet of vessels to head to a certain sea area
to conduct realistic training on subjects such as mine hunting and anti-surface fire

As the fleet just arrived at the task sea area
the combat alarm suddenly sounded
“Suspected underwater target detected!”
All combat positions closely monitored the screens
reporting target information in real-time
The commander assessed the situation
and immediately issued mine hunting deployment
The crane rotated, and the mine disposal device quietly entered the water
The operator continuously adjusted the posture and approached the target
With a muffled sound, the underwater “mine obstacle” was successfully cleared


“Floating mine detected on the starboard side!”
The lookout's voice had barely faded
when the gun positions had already set the parameters
and completed ammunition loading
“Fire!”
The ship's cannon roared, and the shells whistled out
accurately hitting the “floating mine”


During the voyage, the vessels continuously maneuvered
with random interruptions in communication
and special situations such as equipment failures and engine room fires
The officers and soldiers remained calm and coordinated closely
effectively enhancing their emergency response capabilities



During training breaks, the fleet organized on-site reviews
to evaluate training effectiveness against combat standards
directly addressing shortcomings and weaknesses, and formulating corrective measures on-site
In the next steps, this brigade will focus on the key difficulties of anti-mine warfare
continuously deepening specialized training
to forge a maritime vanguard that dares to venture into minefields and can win battles
