May 24, 1939. Minesweeper USS Falcon (AM-28) employs a diving bell to rescue survivors from the sunken submarine USS Squalus.

Aerial view of the U.S. Navy Minesweeper, USS Falcon (AM-28) dispatched from New London, Connecticut, to rescue crew members from the sunken submarine USS Squalus. Closeup from beside the Falcon as crew members open a diving bell that was sent down 240 feet to the ocean floor for the rescue. Several rescued crew members from the submarine are helped out of the diving bell and climb aboard the Falcon. (A total of 33 crew were saved in four descents of the diving bell). Next, survivors reach a dock. A woman speaks with one of the rescued men as he steps into a car. Views of the Falcon and several support vessels. Scene shifts to 13 July 1939, when the first attempt is made to raise the Squalus. An officer officer manipulates valves to send compressed air down into the hull of the Squalus. Next, foam is generated in the water as the bow of the Squalus emerges clearly showing its number, 192. The submarine remains in that condition, with bow elevated and then sinks again. (Note: several more attempts were made in subsequent months to raise the Squalus, until, finally, on 13 September 1939, the boat was successfully raised and towed to the Portsmouth Navy Yard for repairs. The submarine was renamed USS Sailfish and recommissioned in May 1940.)
