[Complete] Scene Caption: US Navy Engineman 2nd Class Anthony Bartelli (right) holds an underwater speaker called a "bone phone" to US Navy Hull Technician 1st Class Patrick Wheeler's head so he can experience the sounds and characteristic of a "pinger locator" prior to his dive. Wheeler (center) and Bartelli are both attached to the submarine tender USS EMORY S. LAND (AS 39) (not shown), and are diving with the Navys salvage and rescue ship USS GRASP (ARS 51) as part of an augmentation crew to support 24-hour diving operations. Boatswains Mate Chief Donald Dennis, from Charleston, South Carolina, stationed aboard the USS Grasp, holds the Datasonics "pinger locator" in a tub of water to simulate sound. The Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) role in finding bodies from the crash of TWA flight 800 has been a tremendous asset for his divers responsible for a gruesome yet important task. Instead of wasting precious hours underwater searching, a ROV can locate bodies and hover near them, directing the divers to its location with an attached "pinger." Divers can then spend most of their time in the recovery phase of this operation. TWA flight 800 crahed in the Atlantic Ocean off Long Island, New York, on July 17, 1996. Base: USS Grasp (ARS 51)
