Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, Calif.(Aug. 5, 2005) –
Sailors assigned to the U.S. Navy's Deep Submergence Unit, Naval Base
Coronado, make preparations to load "Super Scorpio," a robotic rescue
vehicle aboard an Air Force C-5 Galaxy aircraft. The Navy is
transporting two of the remotely operated vehicles in an effort to
assist the rescue of seven Russian Sailors trapped on the ocean floor
in a mini-submarine off the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Super Scorpios and
a team of U.S. Navy technicians are to be flown from San Diego to
Petropavolvsk, and then transported by truck to be embarked on a
Russian ship before making a descent to the stranded submarine. U.S.
