Midshipman 2nd Class (junior) Wyatt Morris, left, and Midshipman 1st Class (senior) Jack Dabek, two students from the U.S. Naval Academy, hoist an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for deployment aboard the University of Delaware (UD) research vessel Joanne Daiber, June 15, 2021. The midshipmen are participating in a multi-partner mission with UD, Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), and SEARCH to confirm the location of USS Nina, a ship lost at sea in 1910 with 31 crewmembers. AUVs can be programmed to execute a search mission using sonar. Sonar technology can create a composite image of seafloors for researchers, allowing them to locate, map, document and examine sites remotely without impacting them. NHHC is responsible for managing, researching, preserving and interpreting the U.S. Navy’s collection of sunken military craft, which includes more than 2,500 shipwrecks and 14,000 aircraft wrecks dispersed globally.
