Commander Bobbie Scholley, commanding officer of Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit-Two, Little Creek, VA, uses a suction hose to clear out the engine compartment of the USS Monitor. Scholley and other Navy divers are working closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) in a joint venture to salvage the main engine from the wreck to be preserved and later displayed at the MarinerÕs museum in Newport News, VA. U.S. Navy divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The USS Monitor went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.
