	Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle - Navy Ships
		The mother submarine, with the DSRV mated to the after rescue/escape trunk and supported by four pylons, proceeds to the area of the DISSUB and serves as an underwater base for the DSRV.
		As the DSRV decends to the DISSUB, it uses sonar to detect the submarine’s AN/BQN—13 submarine distress pingers.
		After the DSRV has located the submarine’s rescue/escape trunk and has landed on the rescue seat, the water in the DSRV mating skirt is pumped overboard or is vented to tanks on the DSRV.

		DSRV Mystic sits on the stern of her mother submarine USS La Jolla.Between La Jolla and Farncomb is the Japanese support ship Bungo.
		The major objective of the exercise was to demonstrate submarine rescue capability by multiple DSRVs and the interoperability among participating submarines and submarine rescue vessels.
		All DSRV operating nations have commented on the professionalism of the Australian officers and sailors and their dedication to meeting all objectives, despite poor weather.

		By equalizing the pressure of the DSRV to that of the other submarine to which it is mated, passage to and from the DSRV and the submarine is permitted.
		In an emergency the DSRV would be loaded into an awaiting U.S. Air Force C-5 aircraft at North Island Naval Air Station, San Diego, and flown to a location near the disabled submarine, then loaded onto a specially configured submarine (called "mother submarine";) and transported "piggy back" to the location of the downed submarine.
		The "mother submarine,"; with the DSRV attached to the hull, would proceed to the disabled submarine and serve as a sort of underwater operations base for the DSRV while the DSRV transferred survivors from the disabled submarine.

	Russian Submarine Emergency Sheds Light On US Navy Deep Water Rescue Capabilities
		The DSRVs were powered by electric motors with silver/zinc batteries that produced 15 shaft horsepower to its single propeller and four thrusters that produced 7.5 horsepower each to drive her at a maximum speed of 4 knots.
		More recently the Navy has indicated the DSRV is now limited in some respects because its delivery capability is also dependent on the proximity of a MOSUB to the port closest to the casualty and many of the especially equipped MOSUBS have been decommissioned.
		Of particular interest to submarine crews who must face the agony of the bends if exposed to normal surface air pressure before their bodies are purged of nitrogen is the SRDRS decompression system and the articulated docking skirt that allows it to attach to a submarine lying at acute angles, the retired skipper said.

	DSRVs and SRCs spell "rescue" for stranded submariners
		The two DSRVs, also known by their names Avalon and Mystic, are sort of "mini-subs" that can be flown anywhere in the world on short notice.
		Once it arrives, the DSRV is transported via its land transport vehicle and taken to the staging port for rendezvous with a specially equipped "mother submarine." "This is what's called the `mother-sub' or `mosub' concept," explained Cmdr. Bill Orr, action officer for the Deep Submergence branch of the Submarine Warfare Division (N873).
		The DSRV would then continue the rescue cycle until all survivors were recovered." The DSRV could also be bringing down emergency air, food, water, blankets, lithium hydroxide for the air scrubbers, or anything else needed to help aid those remaining on the stricken sub until all the personnel can be recovered.

		A DSRV would carry a crew of four to eight and would be lowered to the depths of the sea and ?latched?
		The crew of the submarine would be able to transfer from the boat to the DSRV that would then surface.

		Because of space limitations inside the DSRV, when it’s filled to maximum capacity the people are instructed to sit cross-legged with their arms over each other’s shoulders.

		And the DSRV could have been in Murmansk on Sunday and in operation on Monday, when, according to the latest Russian statement, the last sounds were heard from within the stricken boat--of sailors, trapped in the freezing, air-depleted darkness, who were knocking to show that they were still alive.
		But the DSRVs were not tasked, the airfields not lined up, the C-5s not dispatched, the adapter not forged, the announcements not made.
		That first DSRV had no maneuvering controls (try driving your car without a steering wheel), and was welded to the deck of the sub that carried her (try gluing the lifeboats to the deck of Titanic).

	DSRV Story.
		Although the humanitarian effort as a whole is nothing new to DSRV Sailors, there are other facets of rescue training that are new to the crew, and the Navy.
		This is the first DSRV exercise in waters off of Hawaii, the first time a Los Angeles-class submarine was used with a non-U.S. navy, and the first submarine rescue exercise with Japan after signing the Memorad of Understanding for submarine rescue since 1996.
		In a previous DSRV exercise with the French, Operation PILOU 98, relations were enhanced and an understanding of the counterparts was gained, which is invaluable in multinational efforts.

		The DSRV is designed for quick deployment in the event of a submarine accident and is transportable by truck, aircraft, ship, or by specially configured attack submarines.
		The DSRV rescue system was developed by the U.S. Navy in response to the loss of its nuclear submarine USS Thresher and all its crew in 1963.
		At the time, submarine operating depths greatly exceeded the capabilities of contemporary rescue systems, and the Navy's Deep Submergence Systems Project contracted with Lockheed Missiles and Space, Co. and Draper Laboratory (then the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Instrumentation Laboratory) to produce two deep diving rescue submarines, the first of which was launched in 1970.

		The primary mission of the DSRV is to provide quick-reaction, worldwide, all-weather capability to rescue personnel from submerged, disabled submarines (DISSUB) of the U.S. Navy or foreign navies at depths up to 2000 feet.
		The DSRV's maximum operating depth is approximately 5000 feet, and it can be transported by truck, aircraft, surface ship, or on a mother submarine.
		After the DSRV is properly attached to the submarine, the DISSUB's access hatches are opened and submarine personnel can directly the DSRV.

		Following its recently completed and extensive maintenance availability, the DSRV Mystic will remain in a constant rescue-ready status until her inactivation in 2005, with the exception of one 3-week upkeep in 2003.

		The DSRV outer hull is approximately 15 meters (50 feet) long, 2.4 meters (8 feet) in diameter, and is constructed of formed fiberglass.

		In an inherently dangerous business, the DSRV provides a safety net should things go wrong, much like an ejection seat on a fighter jet or a lifeboat aboard a ship.
		Operating with foreign submarines presents many new challenges to the Mystic crew, but being the only vehicle of their kind, each challenge is taken on with a “can and will do” attitude.
		It can attach to a submarine in the forward, aft, or in a perpendicular direction and a skirt allows a watertight seal to be made between the DSRV and submarine.

		Depending on the distance from the Deep Submergence Unit to the nearest airfield and the distance from the nearest port to the position of the disabled submarine, the nominal timeline places the DSRV at the scene anywhere from 36 to 48 hours after first notification.
		Based on our requirement to keep only one DSRV rescue-ready at all times, our current plans are to lay-up or inactivate the DSRV Avalon in November 2000.
		Just last year, we launched a DSRV from a U.S. submarine, mated it with a Japanese submarine on the bottom, and transferred personnel.

	Rescue subs (George Herbert)
		In short, instead of a modified off the shelf vehicle (which cost more than $750k, btw, it was more than 750,000 british pounds when it was ordered, and it inflated...), Locheed had to build three completely custom, large, highly capable, high endurance, air transportable large minisubs.
		Have to be able to evacuate the people within a specified time, and docking/undocking are a noticable chunk of that time.
		Not to mention that making them airliftable meant that they had to use titanium pressure hulls instead of steel, the DSRV is about twice as fast and twice as long endurance, has onboard sensors to find the missing sub,...

		The DSRV should be in the air as we speak, and let the politicos deal with the (hopefully succesful) results later.
		I've read that the hatch design on Russian subs is incompatible with the DSRV, but a Google search didn't give me anything saying that was right or wrong.
