U.S. Navy divers work together to place a pelican hook

description

Summary

U.S. Navy divers work together to place a pelican hook on a link of chain June 6, 2008. The pelican hook will allow the salvers to attach an additional cable puller to the anchor to assist in righting the former Soviet submarine. U.S. Navy and Army divers along with federal, state and local authorities participate in a joint service operation to raise the sunken former Russian submarine Juliett 484, at Collier Point Park in Providence, R.I. Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, Company 2-1 (MDS CO 2-1), U.S. Army Dive Company and NAVSEA OOC Support Unit prepare to stabilize and recover the former soviet cruise missile submarine that sank at her mooring point in about 30 feet of water during a nor'easter, which struck Providence in April of 2007. This training exercise is part of the DoDs Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) program. Through IRT, military divers receive training by taking part of real-world, community-based projects. IRT and civil-military projects improve military readiness and help rebuild America. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class David Crawford/Released)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
