U.S. Army soldiers from the U.S Army Dive Company out of Fort Eustis, Va., attach a turbidity curtain to the oil boom that surrounds the worksite of a sunken former Soviet submarine. The curtain will contain the mud and silt that will be disturbed during the re-floating phase of the training exercise. U.S. Navy and Army Divers along with federal, state, and local authorities participate in a joint service operation to raise the sunken former Soviet submarine Juliett 484, at Collier Point Park in Providence, RI. Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit TWO Company TWO ONE (MDS CO 2-1), US Army Dive Company and NAVSEA OOC Support Unit prepare to salvage the former Soviet submarine that sank at her mooring point in about 30 feet of water during a noreaster, 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 Eric Lippmann/Released)
