    U.S. Navy Transitions to Search and Recovery in Search for ARA San

    Continuing with the transition of operations to search and recovery, the U.S. Navy
    deployed the Cable operated Unmanned Recovery Vehicle (CURV) 21 to support the
    ongoing Argentine search efforts onboard R/V Atlantis.
    The CURV-21 is a 6,400-pound Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that is designed to
    meet the U.S. Navy's deep ocean salvage requirements down to a maximum depth of
    20,000 feet of seawater, and is due to arrive in Argentina on Dec. 01.
    The two P-8’s, along with sailors from the Patrol Squadron (VP) 5, VP-10, VP-45, VP-
    26, and Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 11, arrived in Bahia Blanca,
    Argentina Nov 17 and Nov 19. VP-5 will return to El Salvador’s Comalapa Air Base and
    resume the counter-illicit trafficking maritime patrol operations they were conducting
    prior to responding to Argentina’s request for help. VP-10, VP-26, VP-45, and CPRW-
    11 personnel will return to their home station at Naval Air Station Jacksonville in
    Jacksonville, Florida.
    The URC deployed two independent rescue assets, the SRC and the PRM, Nov. 18. URC
    will return to their home station in San Diego, California.
