wet training
Explanation:
This may be what the US Navy calls "wet training". Trainees are put in a room full of pipes, and have to fix leaks as the room floods with water. To the British, though, 'wet training' means something quite different (perhaps 'flooding simulation' or something similar would work in that case), so it depends on your audience...

Hope this helps...

Explanation:
I frankly don't know why it isn't погружение. Is the author fully conversant with naval terminology?

agree  Sergei Tumanov: http://www.dcfp.navy.mil/train/wettrain.htm что же касается Submarine Escape Training Tank - он из другой оперы. отрабатывается не покидание лодки на глубине, а наоборот затыкание дырок, чтобы избежать затопления отсека и сохранить живучесть.
