Submarine Rescue

Submarine Rescue After a Russian minisub became tangled in a fishing net on 4 August during a military exercise near the Kamchatka peninsula in Siberia, a C-5 Galaxy crew assigned to the 60th Air Mobility Wing at Travis AFB, California, flew nearly 160,000 pounds of equipment and personnel out of NAS North Island, California, to help rescue the sub crew. The C-5 was used to transport two US Navy rescue submersibles along with associated equipment and personnel. Less than twenty-one hours after being notified and after two aerial refuelings, the C-5 landed in Yelizovo, Russia. The seven Russian sailors were rescued by a British submersible crew on 7 August.
