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.

A Steinke hood, named for its inventor, Lieutenant Harris Steinke, is a device designed to aid escape from a sunken submarine. In essence, it is an inflatable life jacket with a hood that completely encloses the wearer's head, trapping a bubble of breathable air. It is designed to assist buoyant ascent.
Because it was surfaced at the time, a number of the crew members were able to escape, although 21 sailors died, either from being trapped in the vessel or being unable to survive the escape.
A submarine rescue buoy is a floating buoy, attached to a submarine and released in the event of a serious accident or sinking. The buoy remains attached to the submarine by a cable. Once on the surface it can indicate to rescuers the position of the submarine, and may include a telephone for communication with the trapped submariners.
