All Borei class submarines are equipped with a floating rescue chamber designed to fit in the whole crew.

I'd like to know more about this ....

All modern Russian nuclear submarines are fitted with escape pods capable of containing the entire crew. The Russians don't seem to like to talk much about the details, but a few pictures of them have leaked, like this one of the pod on an Akula-class attack sub.

Me, too. The words "Violent and traumatic decompression" come to mind. I wonder how that works out from the depths these marvels run at?

I'm also hoping the words "pasty goo" aren't included in the manual.
