The UTAH, originally a battleship prior to World War I, was later modified as a mobile bombing target and anti-aircraft gunnery training ship. Destroyed by torpedoes from Nakajima B5N2 Kate bombers on December 7, 1941, the ship's remains are being studied by Navy divers of Mobile Diving Salvage Unit One as part of Project Sea Mark, a four-year undesea survey and mapping study of naval historic sites. The study is being conducted in conjunction with the US Park Service's Submerged Cultural Resource Unit
