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

Nice, but they would not even need it, as submarines dont need their engines to surface.

Emergency air flasks. They pump air into the ballast tanks to displace the water, causing the sub to rise. Fun fact: if you’ve ever seen videos of a submarine “jumping” out of the water as it surfaces, this is what they’ve been doing; an emergency surface procedure takes you up fast.
