Abandoning The Vessel
In an emergency, submarines can transmit a signal which can be picked up by other ships. Escape suits can be used by the crew to abandon the submarine. The crew can prevent their lungs from bursting due to the change in pressure by exhaling during the ascent. An alternative means of escape is via a submarine rescue vehicle which can dock onto the disabled submarine.

As a Whig may be defined to be a lover of liberty though without renouncing monarchy; and a friend to the settlement in the protestant line.”
