Oh no, a clearly labelled piece of entertaining advertisement, how awful.
Also... even these show how difficult life on a submarine is (and the ultra-wide angle used most of the time shows how extremely claustrophobic everything is). Not exactly appealing. It takes some very special people to do this kind of job, and I doubt a lot of people are cut out for it...

Note how propaganda always focuses on jets and tanks and submarines and aircraft carriers and futuristic gadgets, and when they do feature an soldier it's always a badass tier-one operator who gets to flaunt the uniform code. Seventeen-year-olds don't get so excited about the prospect of burning literal shit in a hole behind some godforsaken checkpoint in Afghanistan until one day an IED takes their leg off.
