SARES (Submarine Assistance And Rescue Exercise)

SARES (Submarine Assistance And Rescue Exercise) is a coordinated training activity where various naval teams practice rescuing submariners from underwater vessels in distress. It involves simulation of emergencies such as a submarine’s flooding or entrapment, enabling coordination among surface ships, rescue submarines, and specialized rescue chambers. The exercise aims to enhance preparedness, communication, and technical capabilities, ensuring effective response during actual emergencies. Overall, SARES improves safety and rescue procedures, minimizing risks for crew members and strengthening maritime defense readiness.
