Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV)

A Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) is a specialized, self-propelled submarine designed to quickly reach and rescue crew members from stranded submarines deep underwater. Equipped with advanced maneuvering and communication systems, DSRVs can operate at great depths and connect to disabled submarines via watertight hatches. They provide a safe environment for rescuing personnel and often carry life-support supplies. DSRVs are crucial for underwater emergency response, ensuring timely assistance to submariners in distress, and are typically used by naval forces for emergency preparedness and rescue operations.
