Mark Lundine, a Ph.D. student at the University of Delaware (UD), retrieves an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) aboard UD research vessel Joanne Daiber, June 15, 2021. Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) is collaborating with UD and SEARCH to confirm the location of USS Nina, which was 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 examine evidence using a remote vehicle. 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.
