"Torpedoes are found in direction xx at distance xx."

Upon docking at a naval port from its drill mission, the missile destroyer Haikou of a destroyer flotilla under the South China Sea Fleet of the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) received the circular on "enemy" situation from the online simulation training system on July 17, 2012.

After seeing two torpedo loci quickly approaching the warship on the screen, Shao Shuguang, commander of the "Haikou" warship, commanded the warship to maneuver at high speed and ordered to cast underwater sound jammer for interference.

The torpedo loci on the screen were soon deviated from the ship's sailing direction.

The "blue side" of this online simulation training is the experts of an experimental area of the PLA Navy located more than one thousand kilometers away. According to Chen Yueqi, commander of the destroyer flotilla who is also on the scene, the online training has become a strong means for the destroyer flotilla to speed up its transformation of the combat-power generating mode.

At the interval of the confrontation, Wei Fangyuan, commander of the Ship-to-Air Missile Element of the Haikou warship, said: "This modern remote off-site network simulation training system can freely build various types of realistic battlefield environments, which not only allows the officers and men to feel the actual-combat atmosphere, but also tempers the commander's command quality."
