the first ever Lima Been Typhoon class submarien is on the bottonm, of the ocean, it was acompaied by tow alphas, when the eletricity failed, do to sbatoge. The two Alphas are attempting to pull the ship to the surface any help would be appreciated. A investagation into the sabatoge is beggining. The main suspect is an enginear. As far as we know the crew is alive. We are also sending out 5 L.A. classes to help pull

OOC: Not the best choice. The Alfa is one of the smallest classes of SSNs out there. The typhoon has 10 times the displacement. Seriously, with a stuck Typhoon, there's not much you can do, as raising it's going to be a massive undertaking.

Eh subs aren't like cars you can't just tow them around (although you could once you are on the surface).


As a gesture of international kindness (and because we don't really want another rusting soviet nuclear sub on the sea bed). the Kingdom of Crookfur will dispatch its emergency submarine recovery team, 5 crew recovery vehciles are being sent via air and will be in postition in a number of hours to begin recovering the crew. Following this within a couple of days will be a submarine recovery vehicle (basically a really big slavage ship with a number of deep submergance vehicles that will go down and pump air into the ballast system in a controlled manner to bring the ship to the surface).

thank you, so far the sub has been nearly disloged from the mud. Once it is it will be a piece of cake.
