Somebody forgot to close the screen door! :lol: TRAINING OPPORTUNITY - US Navy and Army divers, along with Federal, state and local authorities make preparations to raise a sunken former Soviet “Juliett”-class submarine at Collier Point Park in Providence, RI. The Cold War-era diesel-electric sub sank at her moorings in April 2007. Her salvage and raising exercise is part of the DoD’s Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) program. Through IRT, military divers receive training by taking part in community-based projects.

Not me! I didn’t close it!

It was the aftermarket rear torpedo room hatch through the hull, storm surge, and nobody manning the lines.

#4

You mean its been sitting there, underwater, for OVER a year???

After a year with all the inside exposed to seawater, its likely straight to the scrap heap once they get it up, sad to say…

#5

Not quite salt.
All the way up the bay with a river flowing out right next to it.

Dave,

Is this the one you worked on 5 years back?
