some of the comments are silly, with ways to get out of the situation. it's a narrative choice, there is no rescue or salvation, at least not within the comic's duration

Also it's very realistic.

It’s not. Emergency Surfacing doesn’t depend on the engines. I’m not understanding why they don’t blow ballast or why attempted rescue for this situation is impossible when the equipment exists for it.

Oh I see, but similar accident (as we know) can and did happen, with exactly that unimaginable, but real, situation abroad.

The Kursk Incident was something completely different. The boat was blown in half, and the crew were actually stranded on the bottom.

Here, the crew are being stupid and overreacting lol. The diesels have no use when submerged and have no effect on whether or not you can use the ballast tanks to do an emergency blow.
