Submarining is an exceptional task due to the physical and psychological challenges of the duties and the physical difficulties of the mission. It is a job for those who are strong, determined, self-sacrificing, and confident, who work with a team spirit, share a destiny both in diving and on the surface, and take pride and honor in their work through friendship and camaraderie. Submariners who will carry out this crucial task, where individual mistakes could lead to significant losses, have been trained in our country since April 1, 2017. Given that the training of personnel to serve on submarines is considered as vital as platform procurement in bolstering the submarine force, the Submarine Fleet trains its personnel within its own ranks through a domestic education system and curriculum.
