Article Abstract:
Seven Russian Pacific Fleet sailors trapped for more than three days aboard a Project 1855 Priz mini-submarine were rescued alive with the help of the UK Royal Navy's Submarine Rescue Service. The Scorpio 45 ROV was deployed to waters off Kamchstka from its base in Scotland to rescue the AG-28 that was entangled in fishing nets and a seabed surveillance array during an exercise in Beryozovaya Bay on August 4, 2005.

Singapore, Sweden negotiate submarine sale
Article Abstract:
Sweden and Singapore are nearing a deal for the transfer of two Type A 17 Vastergotland-class (SSK) submarines to the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). Singapore's Ministry of Defence are considering if this might provide the RSN an opportunity to enhance its submarine capabilities by replacing some of its Challenger-class submarines with the Vastergotiand-class submarines.
