It's time once more for naval exercises on Lake Ashtapada to test what the new crewmen have learned about using sonar. They will be split into two teams, Red and Black, who will set three targets to represent mines for each other to find. The first team to find the other's mines wins the trophy; the other will be scrubbing toilets.
