Final Recovery

This expedition is not a typical one.  Rather than being loaded to the brim, the R/V Neil Armstrong will leave the dock with a fairly empty back deck. This open area will allow for the recovery of three surface moorings, five profiler moorings, four gliders, and an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle over the course of the two-week expedition.  The expedition will be conducted in two legs because of the large size of the equipment to be recovered.
