ROV Super Scorpio is loaded aboard an Air Force C-5.

050805-N-8629M-106 Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, Calif.(Aug. 5, 2005) – Sailors assigned to the U.S. Navy's Deep Submergence Unit, Naval Base Coronado, make preparations to load 'Super Scorpio,' a robotic rescue vehicle aboard an Air Force C-5 Galaxy aircraft. The Navy is transporting two of the remotely operated vehicles in an effort to assist the rescue of seven Russian Sailors trapped on the ocean floor in a mini-submarine off the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Super Scorpios and a team of U.S. Navy technicians are to be flown from San Diego to Petropavolvsk, and then transported by truck to be embarked on a Russian ship before making a descent to the stranded submarine.
