I believe the "UK" 'bot was driven by an American crew. It was in an earlier posting this evening.

No. There were three US divers who assisted the bot, but all the controllers of the bot were Scottish/UK--they were civilian operators. These bots are mainly used in commercial projects, like the oil industry. There was also one American doctor besides the three American divers.

The key parameters on whether you could survive are air reserves on the submarine (to pressurize the emergency escape trunk)...

There must be a good reason why submarines don't store liquid air (argon/oxygen), and maybe I'm just forgetting some college physics from ages ago that explains why, but I can't figure out why. I know that some types of newer diesel electric submarines use an AIP system that store LOX onboard, but I never figured out why air reserves were not supplemented by onboard LOX that could be vented into the ballast tanks when needed. If I had to guess, I would guess that on a nuke, getting more air is not typically the problem, pressurizing it and putting it into the ballast tank is usually the problem during accidents, so while storing LOX is feasible, it provides no benefit on nukes.

Thanx American-British Navy!
Our invalid Navy Forces (in Russia, VMF) can only kill russian recruiters, as it was by the Kursk.
Long live liberty!

"Uh, it is a bit more subtle than that. The Ruskies invited us in for a rescue in most sensitive waters - the bases of their Pacific fleet!"

It's not like we haven't been there before!

As I know, our submarine "Priz" has caught the floating sea radar (60 tonnes).
So, your "Scorpio" could spy for the russian defence system.
That's the practical use of this "voyage" of US Navy to our sea coast, isn't that? :-))

We will now use the power of the Continuum Transfunctioner to banish you to Hoboken, New Jersey.

And what do U want to say?
All I've said is a true.
Almost all xperts say the role of british "Scorpio" is to be the main.
Tactically, russian rescue forces have made their efforts in the right way. But practically, they've failed.
Luckly, british could exactly arrive. At the time.
PS. Is "mm77" - a Moscow region (#77)?

Nah, we don't need a reason to be there and the Russians would never know we are.

"Who rescued then? Who else the U.S. as usual. "

I think you'll find the Royal Navy beat you to this one old chap.

Link tells the story - though as someone else said earlier when Hollywood make the movie the nationalities can be fluid. ;)

But do you know that our forces have in Camchatka (Beryozovaya bay) mines with missiles inside? Moreover, there is a lot of the navybases on the seaside of Far-East (russian region near the Pacific ocean). Guess the enemy of Putin? That's US, of course.
Should americans to be present in Sakhalin region? That's simple to answer. You are ALREADY there. For ex., Japan.

O'Kay. But don't let the russian establishment cheat.
As one of the kremlin TV-channels say, "The enemy is nearby! The citizen of Russia must be prepared to war..." (that doesn't seem lke a joke). By "enemy" they mean growing NATO, Japan and USA.
And at the same time we turn to "our best eastern friend" - China. Such alliance (RF-China) worries me...

One of the factors that helped, besides Putin's quick call for help, was that the international submarine rescue war games had just been completed last month.
