U.S. Navy Submersible Rescue Team

The U.S. Navy Submersible Rescue Team specializes in rescuing submariners trapped underwater in emergencies. They operate advanced rescue vehicles, such as deep-sea submersibles and submersible rescue chambers, designed to reach and connect with distressed submarines. Trained in underwater navigation, diving, and emergency procedures, they respond rapidly globally to submarine incidents. Their mission is to save lives by providing a structured, efficient rescue operation when standard rescue methods are insufficient, and they work closely with other naval and maritime agencies to ensure safety during underwater emergencies.
