The ZipNut, manufactured by Houston, Texas-based FASTORQ, is used as part of a shackle to help lift a submersible robot and place it in the water to the stern of the Self Defense Test Ship as part of an Aug. 25 Repair Technology Exercise, or REPTX, event at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD). The exercise demonstrated using various underwater technologies to help detangle a simulated fouled propeller. Crane operators attached the robot to the lowering strap using the shackle with the ZipNut. (U.S. Navy photo by Dana Rene White/Released)
