PANO – During July 18 and 19, the Vietnam People’s Navy held the 2016 training contest of surface ships in Dong Nai.

All surface ship units of Naval Zone 2 participated in the contest, whose contents involved ship operation, navigation sector, weaponry sector, electronic equipment, mechanism, lineup regulations and sports, political, technical and logistic knowledge.

The contest was to check the function performances of onboard commands and crewmen.

Via the contest, the Navy aimed to improve the command and leadership abilities for naval officers, operational knowledge and skills for crewmen.

Based on lessons and experiences drawn from the contest, the Naval High Command could find out appropriate measures to raise the quality of training and combat readiness for all naval troops, meeting increasingly high requirements of its tasks in the new context.
