'Get out, get out, get out...' - New details in Marine AAV sinking | Military Times Reports

Marines are training in seafaring amphibious assault vehicles for the first time since nine men died when one of the troop carriers sank off the southern California coast during an exercise in 2020.

The Marine Corps’ AAV fleet was suspended from all water training following the deadly accident July 30, 2020, near San Clemente Island, California.

The Orange County Register reported Saturday that Marines from Camp Pendleton, California, first resumed exercises in water recovery and troop transfers — without troops.
