A method of training a machine learning, ML, algorithm to control a watercraft is described. The watercraft is a submarine or a submersible submerged in water. The method is implemented, at least in part, by a computer, comprising a processor and a memory, aboard the watercraft. The method comprises: obtaining training data including respective sets of environmental parameters and corresponding actions of a set of communicatively isolated watercraft, including a first watercraft; and training the ML algorithm comprising determining relationships between the respective sets of environmental parameters and the corresponding actions of the watercraft of the set thereof. A method of controlling a watercraft by a trained ML algorithm is also described.
