Summary

Description
English: KWAJALEIN ATOLL, Marshall Islands (Sept. 4, 2018) The Military Sealift Command salvage ship USNS Salvor (T-ARS 52) and products tanker Humber sit moored over the capsized World War II German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen during an oil recovery project. The U.S. Army, in partnership with the U.S. Navy and the Republic of the Marshall Islands are conducting the recovery effort to ensure mission capability of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command’s Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on Kwajalein while protecting the sensitive ecosystem within the atoll. The Prinz Eugen was transferred to the U.S. Navy as a war prize from the British Royal Navy after the war, and in 1946, it was loaded with oil and cargo and used to test survivability of warships during the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll. The operation is being performed by Naval Sea Systems Command, Office of the Supervisor of Salvage engineers and is expected to last until the end of October.
