• Provides a reliable, low risk, high speed regional submarine rescue capability.
• Rescue system operating costs, especially training/exercise costs are low (offset by ship operating costs).
• Vessel can be multi role.
• Smaller operating team.
• Do not have to worry about compromising for transportability -
  e.g. cost, size, weight, maintenance access etc.

• Rescue coverage area limited by vessel sailing range in rescue scenario - no global reach.
• MOSHIP system has higher operating costs if MOSHIP is counted as a cost of the rescue system (offset by ship having other roles and reduced exercise and training costs).
