Crisis Management in Submarine Operations

A Russian mini-submarine is trapped in the North Pacific due to an old fishing net. Captain Slava Miloszewski, aware of the slim rescue chances, remains hopeful and prepared. The crew has limited supplies: seven oxygen canisters, a few liters of water, and some biscuits. Miloszewski calculates they have about 63 to 80 hours of oxygen. To survive, the crew must conserve resources by wearing thermal suits, turning off non-essential equipment, and maintaining discipline to avoid panic.
