Africa-Press – Namibia. The United States Navy is deploying its subject matter experts and the appropriate assets to assist in the search and rescue operation for the submersible that went missing on a dive to the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said on Tuesday.
“In addition to that, the Navy has been in touch with the Coast Guard and is working to provide personnel such as subject matter experts and assets as quickly as possible,” Singh said.
The US Navy is also deploying a “Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System (FADOSS),” which can lift up to 60,000 pounds, US media reported, citing a spokesperson.
The equipment and personnel are expected to arrive at St. John’s by Tuesday night to support the US Coast Guard.
The US Coast Guard said on Tuesday that efforts to locate the submersible have not yielded any results as the remaining oxygen suspected available on board the vessel is set to dwindle down in 40 hours.
