deep sea treasure hunters, submarine yacht, a submarine based on concrete spheres can be used for submarine salvage missions without a mothership. The minimum size would be about 130 cubic meter of living space (similar to Ben Franklin) to allow to supply all needs for a smal crew during a 1 month independet expedion.
The tool of choice would be deploying ROVS on a short cable from the submarine.

It is obvious that the combination ROV / submarine platform has great advantages compared to surface ship based salvage missions. Submarine deployment is weather independet while surface missions frequently loose 90% of the expediton time to bad weather and cable spooling.
The technology of deploying ROVs from a submarine was later refined by James Cameron on the Titanic. Where he deployed ROVs from small subs like MIR and Alvin.
Depending on the mission the ROV can have sonar, camara, arms, or suction device functions for recovering objects.
