Oh nice! Just heard that despite Britain being the host nation for Nato's multinational submarine rescue their offers of assistance were declined (today).

Not me - a tank steered with a games console controller and bolted closed from outside. No way.

Apparently the navy subs can’t go deep enough to help anyway.

They’re toast.

Yup, unless they have managed to surface there is feck all anyone can do even if they locate them.

 

Surely the most likely place for it to be is where it was headed, to the wreck?

You are correct Mark the NSRS set up is not rated for anywhere near that depth and even if it was the submersible in question does not have a compatible trunking for the rescue sub to mate to. Only option I see is top class WROV and a deep water capable crane, Deep Energy and Skandi Vinland are in passage id say for that very reason , if you look at any of the number of ship tracking apps you can see that in real time. Combined crane and work class ROV ops at that depth are not uncommon, the skill levels on some of these ROV pilots in particular in the use of the manipulators is awesome. More than capable of hooking up a crane to a load at that depth or even tying a sling around something.
