My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.
Thank You All
For Your Support

EOD TEAM
". . . there are divers over the side . . ."
The INDEPENDENCE Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team
has a multi-purpose mission while aboard ship. Deployed
from Fort Story, Va., these four men are called on to render
any type of explosive ordnance safe. Sounds like a simple
task, but these highly trained men can perform on the land,
in the air, or under the sea! They also assist the Engineering
Department performing diving operations while in port.
It's an exciting but hazardous life these men lead. And
in their off duty time . . .
we understand they give a great haircut.
