All Indian Navy
submarines have the capability to allow escape of crew from
about a depth of 120 meters, using escape suits. Submarines
have rescue hatches, which are standard fit and are designed
to mate with Deep Submergence Rescue Vessels (DSRVs)/diving
bells. Action is being taken to acquire two DSRVs and rescue
kits for the Navy.
