Submarine strike groups (Quenminese: Các nhóm tấn công tàu ngầm), nicknamed wolfpacks (đàn sói), were employed by the Imperial Quenminese Navy during the Siduri War for commerce raiding. They were temporary assembly of submarines either gathered by clandestine radio communication or appointed on the spot before patrol.
Early applications of the tactic during the war were thwarted, but in May 1935, revisions by Admiral Đặng Thạch Tùng rendered it more effective and adaptable, and the packs were able to inflict significant casualties towards the Sphere's naval war effort in the Sundering Sea Campaign and beyond, despite its drawbacks.
