CONNECTING TO THE UNDERSEA NAVY The museum’s exhibits are windows into the undersea experiences of the U.S. Navy. By visiting our exhibits and participating in our programs, visitors learn about key people, events, technologies, and advances in the Navy’s undersea endeavors. SEARCH, SPY, RESCUE, RECOVER: NAVY VEHICLES UNDER THE SEA OPENED SEPTEMBER 14 Search, Spy, Rescue, Recover: Navy Vehicles Under the Sea, the museum’s newest exhibit, explores the many ways that undersea vehicles expand the Navy’s abilities. Over the last 60 years, undersea vehicles have changed the way the Navy works underwater by granting new capabilities, optimizing and simplifying missions, and removing or reducing risk to Sailors. Operations at which undersea vehicles excel include searching for and recovering lost objects, collecting data, disarming undersea mines, rescuing accident survivors, and more. Search, Spy, Rescue, Recover invites visitors to connect with undersea vehicles through historic artifacts, interactive elements, and vivid imagery. Among the artifacts on exhibit are a 15-foot-long remotely operated vehicle named CURV III, a micro autonomous underwater vehicle called Ranger, and a mine neutralization vehicle. Interactive elements include multiple touchscreen interactives exploring the diversity of undersea vehicles and video interviews with current Navy Sailors who work with undersea vehicles. 7
