•A rare look at the lousy life aboard China's 'Dragon Palace' submarines
88% Informative
A new report offers a rare look at conditions in China 's growing submarine fleet.
It found crews suffer from excessive noise, poor lighting and bad air quality.
The canned foods often served are so tasteless some sailors develop eating disorders.
The question is whether these problems undermine the effectiveness of China 's subs.
A ceremony to honor those doing their first long-duration deployments happens when the submarine reaches maximum dive depth.
"Recognized personnel will kiss a buttered hammer and drink seawater drawn from the depths, which is kept within a vial," the report said.
The ceremony is part of a special ceremony to mark the end of a long-term deployment.
