I missed the media coverage on this mishap last week. Does anyone know what the outcome of the submersible rescue efforts were-? We have a couple of Russian CDF members here, who may also be interested in this-!

**Ok....I rec'd word that it was a successful rescue completed by both UK & our own efforts. No further comments needed, unless someone would like to elaborate.
They made it up with no problems. A British unmanned sub cut them free. From what I understand they were down to 6 hours of air.

The http://www.newsru.com/russia/08aug2005/bat.html also speculates on that topic and other related subjects, unfortunately they don't have english version. Overall russians are very thankful to Brits who once again on the top of u/w technology. The second comment from crowd however is: "it is a shame how we can not support our homeland sub marine technology as we were used to".
This is also a good follow up article -

Without an anonymous phone call by a tearful woman to a local radio station, the world may have heard too late about the Russian submarine stranded in the Pacific to save its seven crew, the journalist who took the call claimed.
