8月7日上午,在英国无人驾驶深水装置“天蝎”的帮助下,几天来一直被困堪察加半岛附近海域水下190米处的俄罗斯AS-28小型潜艇终于摆脱缆索和渔网的束缚,顺利浮出水面,7名乘员全部生还。救援工作至此圆满结束。外电报道如下:The seven-man crew of a trapped Russian mini-submarine are back in port after a three-day ordeal at the bottom of the Pacific with dwindling oxygen.
Six of the seamen were taken to hospital for observation in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the eastern coast of the Pacific peninsula of Kamchatka after arriving on board a rescue ship. The other man remained on board but it was not immediately clear why, the Associated Press reported.
"Today was a very happy event. The intensive work to free our submarine at a depth of 200 meters brought results... Our comrades in the crew opened the hatch themselves," said Admiral Viktor Fyodorov, commander of Russia's Pacific Fleet, according to Reuters.
Submarine作名词表示“潜艇;潜水艇;海底生物”,作形容词表示“水下的,海底的”,相关词组有:a missile-launching submarine(导弹潜水艇);guided-missile submarine(导弹潜艇);a nuclear powered submarine(核潜艇);submarine tender(潜水艇供应船);submarine mine(水雷)等。
据悉,被困潜艇此前曾被一个海岸监测系统的水下天线所缠绕,而这根天线被一个重达60吨的锚固定在海底,救援工作面临相当难度。俄海军曾尝试用缆绳将失事潜艇“钩住”并拖离深海,但因缆绳最终从潜艇脱落而告失败。
