[PSUBS-MAILIST] Triton sub cabin fire (March 2019)

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 About 14 feet per minute which does seem exceedingly slow especially in an emergency situation.  The press often gets such details wrong, perhaps that 23 minutes included getting the sub back on board the support ship.

I came cross this article about a cabin fire in what I believe is a Triton sub:
https://www.businessinsider.com/british-research-sub-surfaces-after-fire-300-feet-below-india-ocean-2019-3

Does anybody have more details on this incident?

The article is a bit light on details, although the fact it took 23 minutes to do an emergency ascent from 100meters/330feet to the surface is worth noting.  That seems like a long time.

Thanks,
 Ian.
