Sasebo, Japan (Apr. 25, 2002) -- The U.S. Navy Los
Angeles attack submarine USS La Jolla (SSN 701) with the
deep submergence rescue vehicle Mystic (DSRV-1)
attached, gets underway to participate in the submarine
rescue Exercise Pacific Reach 2002. La Jolla and Mystic
will operate with surface ships and submarines from the
U.S., Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea and the
Republic of Singapore during Exercise Pacific Reach.
Mystic was specifically designed to fill the need for an
improved means of rescuing the crew of a submarine
immobilized on the ocean floor. It can operate
independently of surface conditions or under ice for
rapid response to an accident anywhere in the world.
