Navy Rescue Gear Seen Obsolete for Deep Sub Scenarios
Navy experts warn current rescue equipment would struggle to lift crew from a sunken submarine deeper than 300 feet. Captain Nicholson notes 1939 era gear still in use, with Squalus reference as baseline, while new rescue subs at depths to 3,500 feet won't be ready until 1970 amid a $600 million program. Admiral Moorer cites the bell as potentially salvaging crews from shallow depths.
