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.
The rescue of Roger Mallinson and Roger Chapman occurred between 29 August and 1 September 1973 after their Vickers Oceanics small submersible Pisces III was trapped on the seabed at a depth of 1,575 feet (480 m), 150 miles (240 km) off Ireland in the Celtic Sea.

This led to the United States Navy creating the Deep Submergence Systems Project in 1964 to create a rescue vehicle for submarines. This project created two rescue submersibles, Mystic (DSRV 1) and Avalon. The Mystic was launched in January 1970, and entered full operational status in 1977. It was eventually replaced in 2006 and replaced by the ...

If a submerged submarine faces a problem that prevents it from reaching the surface of the ocean, e.g. problems with the ballast tank, it can record a distress call on the buoy and launch it. The buoy will ascend to the surface and immediately activate the radio transmitter and send out the emergency message.
OceanGate Expedition has confirmed that it is their submarine at the centre of the rescue mission in the Atlantic Ocean and that an unknown number of crew members are on board.
A deep-submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV) is a type of deep-submergence vehicle used for rescue of personnel from disabled submarines and submersibles. While DSRV is the term most often used by the United States Navy , other nations have different designations for their equivalent vehicles.
The Titanic sub that was lost with five passengers aboard near the wreck of the famed liner likely imploded hours before a massive search and rescue was even launched, says the US Coast Guard.
