A deep submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV) is a type of deep-submergence vehicle used for rescue of downed submarines and clandestine missions. While DSRV is the term most often used by the United States Navy, other nations prefer to call it submarine rescue vehicle (SRV). SRV is one type of submarine rescue submersible, which can carry submariners from a disable submarine to the surface. The function of submarine rescue vehicle is the same as submarine rescue bell.
