The first deep rescue of survivors from a submarine rescue was in 1939 from the USS Squalus (SS-192), using the McCann Rescue Chamber lowered from the Navy salvage/rescue vessel USS Falcon (ASR-2).
Squalus was performing a test dive in waters off of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, when her main induction valve failed, instantly flooding the aft torpedo room and drowning 26 submariners. Quick reaction by the remaining crew contained the casualty in the aft sections of the boat, and she settled on the bottom in 243 feet of water.
All 33 remaining crew were rescued over 13 hours (4 dives) using the McCann chamber. Following the accident, Squalus was successfully salvaged and recommissioned the USS Sailfish (SS-192), where she went on to complete 12 war patrols during WWII.
