Sorry but it is true.
From Wiki:
China Lake is a dry lake. Its name comes from Chinese men harvesting borax from the lake bed, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Paxton Ranch. The operation was known locally as “The Little Chinese Borax Works”.[7]
The Navy even built runways in the area.
Uh oh.. I was teasing. Sorry.. I mean, we don’t have a ski boat anymore. I don’t know the sarc sign. But I did read your post as “Chinese men harvesting boxes from the lake bed” which gave me pause as I imagined little boxes being harvested, then I re-read it again.
But in all seriousness.. I knew that about China Lake.

Yes.
And the Bob Seger tune was titled “Fire Lake” for those who didn’t catch it the first time.
for submarines?
