Emergency Recovery of Submarines

Emergency recovery of submarines involves specialized procedures and equipment used to safely bring a submarine to the surface in critical situations, such as flooding, loss of power, or structural failure. Underwater, submarines rely on ballast tanks and ballast systems to control buoyancy. In emergencies, trained crews activate these systems to surface the vessel rapidly or stabilize it. Recovery can also include rescue operations for crew members, using rescue submarines or decompression chambers. Overall, it’s a highly coordinated process combining onboard systems and external support to ensure safety and minimize risk during emergencies.
