On May 23, 1939, the USS Squalus, a United States Navy submarine, sank in 243 feet of water off the coast of New Hampshire. All 59 crew members survived the sinking, and 33 of them were rescued in a daring operation that involved the use of a diving bell. The rescue of the Squalus crew was a major triumph for the U.S. Navy, and it remains the greatest submarine rescue in history.

The Squalus was a Gato-class submarine, and it was one of the most advanced submarines in the U.S. Navy at the time. It was equipped with a number of new technologies, including a diesel-electric propulsion system and a diving bell. The diving bell was designed to allow divers to exit the submarine and perform repairs while it was submerged.

On the day of the sinking, the Squalus was conducting a test dive off the coast of New Hampshire. The submarine was at a depth of 243 feet when it experienced a sudden loss of power. The crew was unable to regain control of the submarine, and it began to sink. The crew managed to seal off the hatches and prevent the submarine from flooding, but they were trapped inside.

The U.S. Navyすぐにレスキューを開始し、潜水艦の位置を特定することができました。海軍は潜水鐘を使用して乗組員を救出し、やがて33人の乗組員が救出されました。残りの26人の乗組員は、潜水艦が救助船に引き上げられた後、死亡しているのが発見されました。

スコーラスの救出は米海軍にとって大きな勝利だった。この救助作戦は、勇気、決意、イノベーションの物語です。この本には、スコーラスの沈没と乗組員の救出の全容が記されています。
