FINDING USS NEVADA
OCEAN DISCOVERY AND REMOTE WORKING IN THE AGE OF THE PANDEMIC SEARCH, Inc. and Ocean Infinity have announced the discovery of the USS Nevada (BB-36), one of the U.S.Navy’s longest serving battleships, viewed by some as the epitome of American resilience and perseverance. The USS Nevada was located 65 nautical miles southwest of Pearl Harbor, at a depth of over 15,400 feet. The discovery was the result of a successful collaboration between SEARCH and Ocean Infinity, and marks the combination of SEARCH’s leading maritime archaeological expertise, and Ocean Infinity’s unrivalled robotic technology and deep-water search capability.
