NORTH SEA (Sept. 7, 2016) — Members of the French Mine Clearance Dive Unit stand by as crewmembers of the Military Sealift Command rescue and salvage ship USNS Grasp (T-ARS 51) prepare to launch a rigid hull inflatable boat into the waters of the North Sea, Sept. 7, 2016. Underwater archaeologists from the Naval History and Heritage Command are aboard Grasp conducting a remote sensing survey of a shipwreck that may be that of Revolutionary War ship Bonhomme Richard. Commanded by John Paul Jones, Bonhomme Richard was lost Sept. 23, 1779 following her victory over the much more heavily armed HMS Serapis.
