One of eight bins of corroded steel cleared from the test basin floor at the David Taylor Model Basin at West Bethesda, Md from May 27 to May 31, 2025. Six divers from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Keyport Division Dive Locker hand-removed 10-tons of corroded steel from the test basin floor in preparation for the 18th International Submarine Races (ISR), hosted by Carderock. The ISR serve as a real-world crucible for aspiring naval engineers, providing hands-on problem-solving opportunities in a competition that develops critical domestic scientific and engineering talent for the Navy and America's Maritime Industrial Base. Carderock, the Navy's ship design and innovation powerhouse, provides the technical foundation for the future fleet through world-class research, development, and testing.
