Submarine Escape and Rescue Vehicle

A Submarine Escape and Rescue Vehicle (SERV) is a specialized craft designed to help submariners escape from a damaged or sinking submarine and reach the surface safely. When a submarine is underwater and unable to surface normally, crew members can escape using chest harnesses connected to the SERV. The vehicle then transports them to the surface, providing a protected and controlled environment throughout the rescue. SERVs are equipped with life-support systems, navigation equipment, and communications to ensure a safe rescue operation, serving as a crucial safety measure for submarines operating deep beneath the ocean.
