NORTH SEA (Sept. 7, 2016) — George Schwarz, an underwater archaeologist with the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), prepares batteries that power magnetometer survey equipment in a rigid hull inflatable boat aboard the Military Sealift Command rescue and salvage ship USNS Grasp (T-ARS 51), Sept. 7, 2016. Underwater archaeologists from NHHC 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.
