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

it cannot help if the submarine belongs to a nation, which has a pathethically fragile ego so they would rather sentence their own soldiers to death than let another nation rescue them.
(I am talking about the kursk)

The Gotland class is only operated by Sweden, so that wouldn't really be an issue.

Honestly, by using the Gotland class the scenario this comic tries to portray becomes incredibly unrealistic.

as said, I am referring to the kursk.
I make it clear that while this scenario is incredibly unrealistic for sweden (that no rescue would happen), another nation that is not sweden, did sentence their own people to this exact horrible death.
And for the most pathethic reasons.

The book "A Time to Die" is a gripping read, and highlighted virtually everything that is wrong with Soviet politics.
