    Salvage crew members assigned to the U.S. Navy contracted vessel M/V Jascon 25 are transferred by crane to the mine countermeasures ship USS Guardian (MCM 5). Guardian ran aground on the Tubbataha Reef Jan. 17. Unsafe seas conditions does not allow boarding of the ship by rigid-hull inflatable boats. The U.S. Navy and contracted salvage teams continue damage assessments and the removal of equipment and parts to prepare the grounded ship to be safely dismantled and removed from Tubbataha Reef. The U.S. Navy continues to work in close cooperation with the Philippine authorities to safely dismantle Guardian from the reef while minimizing environmental effects.
