Petty Officer 1st Class Jeremy Sylvest jumps off the dive barge to remove lift bags from the former Soviet submarine-turned-museum Juliett 484 that sank at her mooring point in about 30 feet of water from a nor'easter, which struck Providence in April of 2007. 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.
