Still Capture ATLANTIC OCEAN (Sept. 11, 2017) – Naval Academy (USNA) Midshipman 1st Class Nolan Brandon, Ken Haulsee, a graduate student at the University of Delaware, and Peter Barron, a laboratory technician at the University of Delaware, left to right, lower an autonomous underwater vehicle into the water in order to take sonar data on the wreck of the World War I-era armored cruiser USS San Diego (ACR 6), Sept. 11. Members from the Naval History and Heritage Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, the University of Delaware, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and a USNA midshipman started surveying the shipwreck to gain scientific insight, historical clarity, and in preparation for the 100th commemoration of the vessel’s sinking. The project started with a side-scan sonar and bathometric survey. San Diego was sunk off the coast of Long Island in 1918 by a German submarine.
