I'm not a sailor, but shouldn't a submarine under tow have had a safety boat or two hovering close at hand? How about it, Navy / Coast Guard types?

As a former submariner, I would think safety would dictate the Russian navy would have had a safety boat or an assisting tugboat around just in case.

However, the Russian navy isnt well known for safety. Especially the Russian submarine navy.
