Undersea Rescue Command

Undersea Rescue Command (URC) is a specialized unit within the U.S. Navy focused on rescuing submariners in distress. When a submarine experiences an emergency, such as a loss of power or an accident, URC deploys teams and advanced equipment to reach the vessel and assist with the safe evacuation of its crew. This operation involves complex technology, including submersibles and remotely operated vehicles, as well as trained personnel who can operate in challenging underwater environments. The goal of URC is to ensure the safety and survival of those trapped underwater in emergencies.
