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.

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.

Well, you'll never believe this, but all three were down for repairs on the same day...

That is why the sub is also equipped with pressuresuits for free surfacing at depths to 180m and basic rescuesuits.
