Submarine Escape Actions

Submarine escape actions are procedures designed to help crew members evacuate safely from a submerged submarine in an emergency. When a submarine is compromised, crew members may use specialized escape equipment, like escape suits and breathing devices, to reach the surface through designated escape routes and hatches. These actions involve: 1. Donning protective gear, 2. Leaving the submarine through escape trunks or hatches, 3. Managing ascent carefully to avoid decompression sickness, 4. Surfacing at the water’s surface, 5. Using safety equipment like life rafts or rescue vessels. Proper training and equipment are critical to ensure safe escape in such situations.
