[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] About 50 deep-sea divers (SSU) from the Special Warfare Command's Maritime Rescue Unit are conducting cold-weather endurance training around the Jinhae naval port area.

Following COVID-19 prevention guidelines, training such as fin/mask swimming and scuba diving exercises to search for sunken vessels were conducted from the 20th until the day before yesterday.

On the last day of training, the Navy announced that teams will perform pedaling training by rowing rubber boats to cultivate maritime survival skills. This training was designed to develop the physical and mental abilities to carry out missions under any circumstances.

Established in 1950 as the Navy Maritime Operations Unit, the Maritime Rescue Unit has been deployed not only for military operations but also to various maritime accident sites to conduct rescue activities.
