On the 72nd founding anniversary of the People's Liberation Army Navy submarine force, PLA military media published a retrospective framing the force's development as a progression 'from nothing to something, from weak to strong,' invoking the 'Underwater Great Wall' formulation to characterize its strategic deterrence role. This is anniversary commemorative content; its value is as a record of how the institution publicly frames submarine force identity and historical narrative for a general audience, not as evidence of changed posture or capability.

72 years — from nothing to something, from weak to strong, the People's Navy submarine force has built an indestructible 'Underwater Great Wall' through trail after trail of deep-blue wakes. Today marks the founding anniversary of the People's Navy submarine force. 《Military Vision Mini Classroom》 takes you back to trace the path of its growth, paying tribute to the vanguard fighters of the deep sea.
