For the first time in the Navy, female submariners were selected. Korea is the 14th country in the world where female soldiers board submarines, after the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
The Navy announced that the “38th Submarine Basic Course Graduation Ceremony” was held at Jinhae Naval Base in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do on the 5th and was hosted by Navy Submarine Commander Kang Jeong-ho . Of the 125 officers and non-commissioned officers who completed the training, nine, including Captain Yoo Hyo-jin, were female.

However, as submarines have increased in size, it has become possible to incorporate designs that take female soldiers into account.

The female petty officers include sonar petty officers (3 people) who operate the “Sonar” underwater sonar system, a controlling petty officer (1 person) who recommends the submarine’s navigation path and maneuver, and a wartime petty officer who who operates submarine radar and combat system equipment (1 person), electronics petty officer (1 person), who operates and manages submarine electronic equipment, and propulsion motor petty officer (1 person), who operates submarine propulsion engines operates and maintains.

If the enemy provokes us.” “We will secretly strike the enemy in the heart underwater and punish him severely immediately and until the end.” “He said. Petty Officer Kim Da-hee, 26, whose four siblings are all Navy petty officers and who is assigned to the Chomu ship, said: “As a female submariner, not just a female submariner, I am fully dedicated to this Acquiring submarine-related knowledge and skills.”
