We’ve got tons of subs in our navy; why doesn’t one of ours just go there, have the crew swim over one by one, and bring those people home already?

So our US Navy submariners can swim at 12000 feet below sea level? We've come a long way in naval warfare preparations.

Also, no one knows where they are? So even if the crew could get down there and swim around, they’d have to find them first.

How are they to leave their sub to enter the navy sub?

And this particular company has been operating dives for several years. I understand what a PP said about people assuming there are basic safety checks and oversight in place even (or especially?) for something this inherently risky.

I think this is the only the third annual voyage for this company.

They are incredibly bright animals and should only take a couple of hours to train. Would be good to at least try while they wait for the ship with unmanned submersibles to arrive.

They could also consider some sort of pully with magnets, perhaps using a nearby fishing ship in the area.

It's 13000 ft into the darkest depths. No dolphin or fishing boat can navigate this. Even military submarines.

You're envisioning a fun little snorkling trip . This isn't it.

And also, dolphins are mammals.

Orcas are mammals too. I don't think sharks are tho.

You don’t think sharks are mammals? Are you 3?

Sharks are fish.

Are you 2?

I was responding to PP question whether sharks are mammals? Got it? Good, move on now

Umm, I am no expert but wouldn’t a human body be crushed to smithereens at those depths?

because it takes days to get one there. i think they are trying

I don't believe that - there are subs off the coast all the time. There are subs from other countries as well - why aren't they assisting? It's been days since this started and at least one could have made it there by now.

Clearly I’m not an expert either (PP). I have no clue.

At a depth of 12,000 feet where no human can swim? okay. hopefully the orcas can assist with that rescue effort too.

Please give us the plan. If it's good we can make a call to the SecNav.

I mean tie them up and submarine floats them up as it raises? How would they attach the submersible?

Most life forms that we are familiar with would probably implode at those depths, i don’t believe we are able to survive at 2 miles under the ocean.

How? A “normal” sub cannot dive that deep. And if there are military subs that can and do, I don’t think their governments would want that publicly known.

Military subs can descend to 3000ft. These guys are 12000fy below.

If you think its as simple as sending down a sub to scoop up the capsule or tether a sonar beacon to a submarine and drag it around hoping to detect a ping, then I have a bridge to sell to you.

It would be like flying a kite to catch a space shuttle.

How can a military sub only go to 3000 feet, but these capsules can go to 12,000? Just wondering why the technology is so different.

I was being sarcastic. Due to previous post of have the crew swim...

One safe and has been developed over a 100 years. One has not.
