As the head of the Navy, Zhao Kaihua naturally received the news immediately.
"We have already dispatched a nearby carrier strike group to the front."
"But we can't get in touch with 0982 now."
"We don't know what situation they encountered, and blindly rescuing them could cause problems."
Upon hearing Zhao Kaihua's words, everyone fell into deep thought.
The Mariana Trench, also known as the Mariana Islands Trench, is the deepest known trench on Earth.
The trench is located on the seabed of the western North Pacific Ocean, east of the Mariana Islands near Guam. It is a convergence and subduction zone of two plates, where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Pacific Plate (or the Mariana Plate, a subdivision of it).
The Mariana Trench is much deeper than Mount Everest.
Located in the Pacific Ocean near the Mariana Islands, between the Asian continent and Australia, extending from the Iwo Jima Islands in the north to near Yap Island in the southwest.
It is 2,550 kilometers long, arc-shaped, with an average width of 70 kilometers, and most of its water depth is over 8,000 meters.
The deepest point is in the Challenger Deep, at 1000 meters, which is the deepest point on Earth.
This trench is estimated to have formed 60 million years ago and is part of a series of trenches on the western Pacific Ocean floor.
In December 2014, scientists discovered a type of fish on the seabed at a depth of 8,145 meters in the Mariana Trench, breaking the record for the deepest marine habitat for fish.

"Regardless of the reason, immediately arrange for personnel to investigate the cause of the accident and to search for and rescue the 0982 submarine."
"Immediately organize a rescue team and a team of experts."
