Incident: In a patrol mission in 2014, Submarine 372 has been plunged
into an underwater trench 3,000 metres deep. The vessel had
encountered a sudden change in water conditions, leading it to sink
uncontrollably fast. The crew quickly seized the little time they
had, opening all the emergency air flasks within 10 seconds to fill
the tanks. They managed to close more than 100 valves and related
equipment in less than a minute. In two minutes, all the cabins
were sealed. Officer were awarded second-highest honour for saving
crew from certain death.
