U.S. Navy Diver Kevin Eppleman, assigned to Mobil Diving and Salvage Unit 2, fastens a plate shackle between a link of chain and a sensor that measures the tension placed on the anchor while the wire while the cable pullers are being used to right Juliett 484, a former Soviet submarine June 6, 2008. U.S. Navy and Army divers along with federal, state and local authorities participate in a joint service operation to raise the sunken former Russian submarine Juliett 484, at Collier Point Park in Providence, R.I. Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2 Company 2-1 (MDS CO 2-1), U.S. Army Dive Company and NAVSEA OOC Support Unit prepare to stabilize and recover the former soviet cruise missile submarine that sank at her mooring point in about 30 feet of water during a nor'easter, which struck Providence in April of 2007. This training exercise is part of the DoDs Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) program. Through IRT, military divers receive training by taking part of real-world, community-based projects. IRT and civil-military projects improve military readiness and help rebuild America. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class David Crawford/Released)
