You are correct SASless.
USS Carter Hall.
My post has been edited to correct the info.
A Landing Ship, Dock.
She would have useful tech aboard.
I really should learn how to read.

Morehead City is used by Marine Corps units assigned to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina....home of the 2nd Marine Division and MARSOC units.
There is no USS Morehead City shown on the current US Navy list of Ships.

The search area is in about fifty feet of water....in an area that has a generally flat sandy bottom with a current that tends to the northeast. Visibility can vary from almost nil to like a swimming pool depending upon season and sea state.
Excellent weather the past few days.....warm, slack wind, ocean is almost flat.
