‘SONAR’ is a sound wave detection device mainly used to locate objects underwater, and the Coast Guard utilizes this equipment for searching missing persons and sunken items.


The West Sea Coast Guard Agency invited an anti-submarine observer from the Navy's 3rd Fleet as an external instructor and conducted both theoretical and practical training over two days, on the 19th and 20th.



A representative of the West Sea Coast Guard Agency stated, “We prepared this training to enable faster search and rescue operations in waters with deep depths and poor visibility,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure the safety of the public and protect property.”
