The US navy said a Super Scorpio unmanned vessel was being flown out from San Diego on Friday morning Pacific time (late afternoon GMT).


though technically what they are stuck in is almost a DSRV.

a little 7 man sub, and anything they could bring down there is probably the same size.

To me, being dragged along the ocean floor to shallower water would be enough of an ordeal to kill me.

The Navy ROV is equipped to cut cables and stuff like that.  Hopefully they can get it on site in time.

I saw a good film about Squalus rescue, "Submerged". I think it was made for TV.

IIRC it was the only successfull sunk submaribe crew rescue from something like 50m deep... "Priz" is stuck at 200m...

From the reports of Russian Navy PR officer I come to a sad conclusion that the crew is in a serious trouble :( We still remember his reports in 2000 about Kursk :(

wondering if the Scorpio couldn't be lashed to a heavy lift copper and dropped right on the scene...?

Hope like hell these guys get out ok.. that's no way to die, trapped like rats in a tin can.

:(

Why is a sub this size, out in the Pacific?
Isn't it a RESUCE sub?
Is there perhaps another sub down somewhere?

Looks like they were able to attach a tow cable to the sub, but I don't know if that makes it better or worse.  I would certainly hate to be in a sub that is dragged around by a ship I can not communicate with....

Time is running out for these guys...  and equipment that is being sent is still going to take a while to get there....

According to the radio, looks like the British ROV cut them loose...  They're on the way up.

Good news, i hadn't realised we were directly involved in the rescue.  When they said we were helping i assumed they had just asked for some advice or something.

воскресенье в 7:25 мск по московскому времени затонувший батискаф всплыл на поверхность у борта судна "Алагез". Тросы, в которых он запутался, перерезал британский беспилотный спасательный аппарат Scorpio, сообщил заместитель начальника главного штаба ВМФ РФ Владимир Пепеляев.

По его словам, все 7 членов экипажа батискафа живы. Моряки самостоятельно вышли из аппарата. Их самочувствие нормальное. Подводники будут доставлены в госпиталь Петрапавловска-Камчатского.

Hangtime, here it is translated:
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, RUSSIA - Seven submarine crew members trapped for nearly three days under the Pacific Ocean were rescued Sunday after a British remote-controlled vehicle cut away the undersea cables that had snarled the vessel. (Drink more Vodka, comrade)

The seven crew members, whose oxygen supplies had been dwindling amid underwater temperatures in the mid-40s, appeared to be in satisfactory condition, naval spokesman Capt. Igor Dygalo said. The seven were being examined by ship medics, he said. (Drink more Vodka, comrade)


The sub surfaced late Sunday afternoon, some three days after becoming stranded in 600 feet of water off the Pacific Coast on Thursday.(Drink more Vodka, comrade)
 

"The rescue operation has ended," Rear Adm. Vladimir Pepelyayev, deputy head of the navy's general staff, said in televised comments. (Drink more Vodka, comrade)

Heck for the last 2 years they have kept the space station supplied.  If our shuttle keeps falling apart we may need to borrow a few Rockets !

BTW for you sub guys I found a blog devoted to them
