Army divers support Hawaii DOT with salvage exercise

 "This harbor is the most widely used on the island," said Capt. Troy Davidson, the 7th Engineer Dive Detachment commander. "If the harbor were shut down, the island wouldn't be able to support the population more than several days."

Since January 2015 the Judy K, a 77-foot fishing boat, has sat at the bottom of Honolulu Harbor with only a portion of the top visible above the surface.

"Having the boat stuck here blocks the use of this dock, which impacts the harbor as a whole," Davidson said.

Army divers from the 7th Eng. Dive Det., 130th Engineer Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, have been attempting to raise the Judy K since Sept. 8 as part of a salvage exercise.
