    USS San Diego conducts small boat operations underway for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11

    Chief Boatswain’s Mate Jeremiah Bennett (right), a native of Toledo, Ohio, and Seaman Joseph Site (left), a native of Nashville, Tennessee, provide direction to a crane maneuvering an 11 meter rigid hull inflatable boat on the weather decks aboard San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22) while underway for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 22, 2024. In preparation for NASA’s Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts in Orion beyond the Moon, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. Amphibious transport docks, like USS San Diego, have unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including embarking helicopters, launching and recovering small boats, three dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
