A dredge basket is sprayed with water while being plunged in and out of the bay by a barge crane to help remove mud and sediment from the basket during an underwater recovery mission for Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in the Philippines, March 5, 2026. DPAA’s mission is to provide the fullest possible accounting for U.S. missing personnel to their families and the nation; this recovery effort is the first of a multiyear effort to attempt to recover remains associated with the Oryoku Maru, a Japanese prisoner of war ship that sank during World War II.
