RIMPAC Submarine Rescue Tabletop Exercise. Submarine rescue is the process of locating a sunk submarine with survivors on board, and bringing the survivors to safety. [1] This may be done by recovering the vessel to the surface first, or by transferring the trapped personnel to a rescue bell or deep-submergence rescue vehicle to bring them to the surface.
Rescue with a submarine rescue vehicle, which connects directly to a submarine's escape hatch, is still the preferred option, as it allows crew members to avoid direct exposure to cold water and high pressure at depth. If a rescue vehicle is not available or cannot connect to a sunken submarine, the crew can escape using the SEIE. [3]
