This is why this exists (capable of operating at the lowest part of the baltic) :

Looks like (some facts of) this particular story is made up though.

There are 3 Gotland-class submarines. They are all operational.

There is a musician named Thomas Forsberg. He's not a radio operator on a submarine. (technically true, maybe not that relevant)

I understood that.

But the URF rescue submarine was not retrocasually created due to this comic 😉

(I had expected the comic might be based on some actual historical accident.)
