Oceanographic Southern Partnership Station 10 continued today in Cartagena, Colombia. The USNS Henson, one of the U.S. Navy's seven oceanographic survey ships, went to sea today with staff members from the Colombia Navy's Centro De Investigaciones, Oceanograficas e Hidrograficas onboard for demonstrations of military oceanographic and hydrographic techniques. In this image some of Henson's crew hoist a glider up during deployment procedures on the fantail of the Henson. The glider uses sonar technology to map the ocean floor. The Henson spent the day in the southern Caribbean Sea surveying a pre-determined area in Colombian waters before returning to port in Cartagena. The Henson will remain in Cartagena for several days to demonstrate various military oceanography and hydrography survey techniques and technology used by the U.S. Navy to collect data which can be used to create or update nautical charts and other mission-related data. O-SPS 10 is a joint project being conducted to demonstrate current technologies and capabilities of the U.S. Navy to share information on conducting military oceanographic surveys in various environments between members of the CIOH staff and the crew of the Henson and to strengthen ties between each country's military.
