Let’s face facts not every submarine disaster has a happy ending. All seven of crew were alive. You can’t help but think this is a miracle. I am sure some of you remember this event.This was. It took place in 2005. Here is the story.
All 7 Men Alive as Russian Submarine Is Raised by C. J. CHIVERS and CHRISTOPHER DREW, New York Times
MOSCOW, Sunday, Aug. 7 - A small Russian submarine was freed on Sunday from its undersea entanglement off the Far East coast by an unmanned British rescue vehicle that cut away the nets that had ensnared it.
All seven crew members were alive and rushed aboard a Russian surface vessel, where they were being reviewed by a medical team, Russian news agencies and the United States Navy said.
The vessel rose to the surface before 4:30 p.m. local time, ending the crew's ordeal in the cold and darkness more than 600 feet below the surface off the Kamchatka Peninsula. There remained uncertainties about how the submersible, a 44-foot rescue vessel, became disabled, and what exactly immobilized it.

Does anybody know the name of this Russian Submarine? I didn’t see submarine’s name in the article.
