Capt. John Witte, commanding officer of the Undersea Rescue Center (URC), right, poses with Peruvian Navy Cmdr. Alonso Mori, commanding officer of BAP Pisagua (SS-33), during a tour of URC, Oct. 17, 2024. URC, comprised of active and Reserve component Sailors and civilian contractors, is the Navy’s only submarine rescue-capable command ready to deploy around the world in the event of a submarine emergency. Pisagua is deployed to San Diego as part of the Diesel Electric Submarine Initiative (DESI), which was established in 2001 by U.S. Fleet Forces Command and partners the U.S. Navy with South American submarine-operating navies as they participate in fleet readiness exercises.
