Recovery Vessel

The vessel being used is an offshore oil industry anchor handling tug, which normally hauls or deploys a cast steel anchor over the stern with steel hawsers or chains as part of a semi-sub drilling rig deployment.


It is not a suitable vessel for an aircraft fuselage recovery. The outcome was predictable.
