SG is small.RSN is much smaller.But we just do the right
thing,at the right price ,
in a right place,and at the right time,ie NOW!!NOW!!NOW!!
This is a shame that we dunt provide adquate rescue for all
SAF,
including submariners.Now,it is better we have a deep sea
rescue
vehicle at home.
FYI,SG has a agreement with US Navy for sub rescue,just in
case.

MV Swift Rescue is the ship that carries the equipment to launch
DSAR 6 – the
submersible rescue vessel that will link up with distressed
submarines to evacuate
trapped submariners.
The DSAR 6 is capable of reaching a
top speed of three knots (5.5 km/h) underwater and is able to reach
depths of up to 500 metres. MV Swift Rescue is able to reach
a
top speed of 12.5 (23.15 km/h)
knots with a maximum range of 3,000 nautical miles
(5556 km). Together, the two vessels form the RSN's
submarine rescue capability.
Speaking on the new submarine rescue capability of the RSN, CDR
Spencer told
cyberpioneer: “We are very impressed with what the RSN has done
with this
system.”
“The RSN has put a lot of thought into integrating DSAR 6 with MV
Swift Rescue,” he
said.
MV Swift Rescue and DSAR 6 was designed as an integrated rescue
platform. Upon
rescue, submariners will be able to receive treatment immediately
for any injuries
sustained when they were trapped in the submarines.
MV Swift Rescue was launched on 29 Nov 2008, with DSAR 6 delivered
early this
year. They are now both fully operational.
