CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — An MV-22 Osprey that crashed off Australia’s eastern coast in early August has been recovered and will soon be analyzed as part of an ongoing investigation into the incident that killed three Marines, Marine Corps officials said this week.

The aircraft was recovered in about 165 feet of water approximately 18 miles off the coast of Queensland by the USNS Salvor and Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One, with the assistance of the MMA Pinnacle Offshore Supply Ship, the statement said. The Osprey is in Townsville, Queensland, where it is being prepared to be taken to Hawaii for analysis.
