Sounds like they are getting more training than the US Army.

Soldiers on submarines?

Sounds freaky, but apparently the Israeli’s do it that way too. They use Army based rank structures. I don’t even know if they have a distinctive uniform.

Canada went that way in the 1970s but returned to the traditional maritime service ranks later.

No the Chinese preface all their miliatary with PLA - Peoples Liberation Army - so you have PLA Army, PLA Navy, PLA Airforce and PLA Marines. I think it speaks to their central concentration on land forces on top of the historical context of mao’s PLA army.
