A U.S. Navy diving and salvage ship is on its way to the northwest end of San Clemente Island to begin recovering eight servicemen and a seafaring vehicle found after several days searching the seafloor.
The Navy ship should arrive in the next few days, a Marine Corps official said. “Everyone is working as fast as they can to get the assets out there.â€
Another Navy ship, the HOS Dominator, typically used for submarine recovery, deployed its underwater remote vehicle to find the sunken amphibious assault vehicle. It had already been doing other work in the area and arrived off the island on Friday, July 31, jumping in to help with the search and rescue operation, which later became a recovery mission.
