Search and Rescue Submarines:
These submarines are especially interesting because they excel in search and rescue involving other submarines or naval vessels. These subs are commonly referred to as DSRVs or Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles. These submarines usually work with a "mother submarine" which is just a submarine which is essentially bigger and more powerful. Whenever a submarine sinks or something goes wrong with it, the DSRV and its mother submarine will proceed to the downed subs location. Then the DSRV will detach from the mother sub and attach to the damaged submarine. It will then use its mechanical arm to make a pathway from the damaged submarine back to the DSRV. Once all of the personal have safely evacuated the downed sub onto the DSRV, the DSRV will transport them back to the mother ship where it will reattach itself and offload the personal.
Research Submarines:
Another use for submarines are for research purposes. The ocean is the least explored area on Earth, it holds some of the biggest mysteries known to man. It holds so much potential for research and developing new technologies. Submarines have been used to try and help discover and uproot some of the mysteries held in our oceans. One of the first research submarines was constructed in 1964, it was named Alvin. Alvin originally had a depth limitation of 6,000 feet that was later increased to 13,000. Alvin was used to help find the remains and resting place of the infamous Titanic which sunk in 1912. Submarines like and more advanced than Alvin have helped us explore habitats devoid of light and otherwise inaccessible without them. Submarines used for research has only been increasing as technology increases.
Personal Submarines:
Like with most technology, if you spend enough money it can be your personal play toy. This is also true for submarines. Now you can buy your own personal submarine "making underwater exploration easy, safe, and fun," according to deepflight, a manufacturer of deep water submersible vehicles. With the help of submarines, the underwater world is now available at our leisure (Deepflight's dragon model submarine starts at about 1.5 million dollars).
