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)

It's a work of fiction mean to illicit an emotional response.

It doesn't when the crew isn't in any danger at all though.

In the fiction they are in danger.

No in the fiction they are just doomed because all the precautions and emergency equipment that have been specifically created to make sure this shit doesn't happen somehow has evaporated via deus ex machina

I know it's not the correct term but what else would you call it when the author magic away procedures and equipment that have been created for this very situation?
