221211-N-NM271-2280 PACIFIC OCEAN (Dec. 11, 2022) Navy Divers attached to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Expeditionary Support Unit One deploy combat rubber raiding craft from the well deck of amphibious transport dock USS Portland (LPD 27) during the NASA Artemis I Orion spacecraft recovery, Dec. 11, 2022. Portland, along with Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Montgomery (LCS 8), is underway in U.S. 3rd Fleet in support of the recovery. The retrieval operation is part of a Department of Defense effort that integrates combatant command service capabilities to determine best practices for safely retrieving spacecraft capable of carrying humans into space. The U.S. Navy has many unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner for supporting NASA, including its amphibious and expeditionary capabilities with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats, three-dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
