Petty Officer 2nd Class Todd Walsh gives the okay to Petty Officer 3rd Class Levi Hughes who is checking his KM-37 dive helmet and harness before a dive to remove lift bags from the former Soviet submarine-turned-museum Juliett 484. The submarine was raised from the bottom of the Providence River in July using lift bags and pontoons in combination with eight dewatering pumps by Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, a U.S. Army Dive Company and a Naval Sea Systems Command support unit. This training exercise is part of the Department of Defense Innovative Readiness Training program. Through IRT, military divers receive training by taking part in real-world, community-based projects. IRT and civil-military projects improve military readiness and benefit the local communities.
