Battery fire 8 days ago. Me think it's a recovery, rather than a rescue.

It just illustrates how pathetic the submarine design is for dealing with situations of emergency like this.

Days would have been saved if there was a simple device that is released from the hull of the submarine that then shoots up to the surface from where it transmits a signal.

Precisely why I never wanted to join the navy - I could not see myself deep underwater and hopeless or floating in the sea hopeless.

On the other hand... I would be happy to be associated with any aircraft.... on a carrier.... the most vulnerable and most attack-worthy modern ship of war.
