Robotic Vehicles Explore World War II Era Ocean Battlefields

by James Dacey 7 April 20225 July 2022

Project Recover used autonomous underwater vehicles to identify, access, and image hard-to-reach World War II wreckage sites near the Northern Mariana Islands.

In the foreground are tall grasses and green leafy bushes that cover hidden mines. A red sign with a skull and crossbones reads “Danger! Mines!” in both English and Khmer. Three wooden houses on stilts sit in the background of the image, and a group of villagers is gathered around the base of the central house. More houses extend into the distance, and a mountain range is visible on the horizon.
