    The 49-foot stern loading utility boat (BUSL) was brought into service in the late 1990s, with the last one commissioned in 2001. They are equipped with an astern mounted A-frame crane that can lift 4,500 pounds. ANT Cape May used a BUSL to hoist thousands of pounds of damaged steel Aids to Navigation (ATON) structures out of the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway during a nine-day operation that saved an estimated $269,000 in contractor costs.

    An underwater diver in full diving gear is performing what appears to be underwater cutting or welding work on a heavily fouled structure covered in marine growth. The diver is holding a tool that is producing a bright flame or arc of light directed at the biofouled surface above them. The water has a greenish tint with moderate visibility, and the structure overhead is densely covered with mussels, barnacles, or similar marine organisms.
    A USCG (United States Coast Guard) diver is photographed underwater, viewed from behind, working on a heavily marine-growth-covered structure. The diver is equipped with specialized diving gear including a metallic backplate or rebreather unit marked 'USCG'. The image captures an active underwater inspection or maintenance operation.
    A marine salvage or underwater recovery operation is underway on a work barge in open water. Workers wearing hard hats and life vests are operating a yellow A-frame gantry crane to lift a heavily encrusted, dark object from the water. The recovered object appears to be a navigational buoy or similar marine structure covered in marine growth, suspended by rigging cables.
