Salvage and Recovery
Underwater salvage and recovery techniques are continuously modified and improved to find and recover shipwrecks and other valuable articles lost in the ocean. Marine engineers use their skills to assist at every stage of this process – from the planning of searches, to the documentation of wreck sites, to the physical recovery of entire vessels, artifacts, or parts thereof. Numerous famous examples of shipwrecks exist, but recoveries include Squalus (subsequently rechristened USS Sailfish (SS-192) ) and Project Azorian, the clandestine recovery of a portion of Soviet submarine K-219 by the U.S. Navy and CIA in 1974 aboard Glomar Explorer .
