In addition to the ability to master special weapons such as submarines, good physical strength also plays an important role in helping submarine crews successfully complete their missions.

| At the 189th Submarine Brigade, Navy, right from the beginning of the 2017 training year, physical training for officers and soldiers in the unit has been given special attention to meet the combat and combat readiness requirements of this special unit. Photo source: QĐND. |
 |
| Especially for submariners on duty on Kilo 636 fleets, training for physical strength and endurance is one of the important factors to meet the conditions for carrying out special and long-term missions at sea. Photo source: QPVN. |
 |
| The first event organized by the brigade was a 3km run for all officers and soldiers in the unit. The run was also a physical endurance test for combat crews. K91 obstacle course training, 1,000m breaststroke swimming, wave walking, lap spinning, and canoeing were organized by the unit three days a week to help soldiers improve their physical endurance.

| In addition to the unit's physical training plan, soldiers of the 189th Submarine Brigade also train their own physical strength according to each person's strengths to enhance their physical strength to meet each assigned task. Photo source: QPVN. |

| In addition, the physical training facilities at Brigade 189 are quite adequate with 10 volleyball courts, two basketball courts, a large swimming pool, two tennis courts, four mini soccer fields and three physical training areas exclusively for naval soldiers. Photo source: QPVN. |

| In addition to modern facilities and equipment, Brigade 189 also assigns specialized physical training officers to guide soldiers in proper training methods, with a special training plan specifically for submarine soldiers. Photo source: QPVN. |
 |
| Thanks to the attention paid to physical training for soldiers, the unit's physical fitness test results every year always reach 100% good or excellent. This is one of the factors that practically contributes to building the 189th Submarine Brigade, a regular, modern, and elite unit of the Vietnam People's Navy. Photo source: QPVN. |

| It is known that earlier this year, Brigade 189 also received the last Kilo diesel-electric attack submarines under a contract for 6 submarines built by Russia for the Vietnam People's Navy worth nearly 2 billion USD, signed in 2009. Photo source: QPVN. |
 |
| And with a squadron of 6 Kilo attack submarines, the strength of our Navy has been significantly enhanced, marking an important historical milestone in the modernization process, enhancing combat capabilities as well as the strength to protect the sovereignty of the sea, islands and continental shelf of the Fatherland.
