Russian mini-sub...40,000,000 rubles...Scorpio unmanned vehicle...$20,000,000...seeing daylight after three days on the bottom...
...PRICELESS!!THEY'RE OUT!!!
GMT, August 7, 2005
03:32 Mini-submarine AS-28 lifted to the surface at 07:26 a.m., Moscow time,with all seven crew members - Russia Pacific Fleet command
Details will no doubt be forthcoming, but I'm sure I can safely say there are seven very happy Russian submariners, and a whole host of thankful submariners around the world.
Tonight we'll be toasting your rescue, guys! I for one prefer that to a memorial service.
Welcome back to the surface!
(All prices approximate...except the "Priceless" one, of course!!)

...and there was much rejoicing...
A Blanket, Oxygen and Vodka for seven, good news.
I raise a Stoli in their honor at this very moment...
What wonderful news! Great job here at "Ultraquiet No More"!
Can I raise a glass if not a submariner? Well, I will anyway. Excellent news.
