U.S. Navy Ensign Jeff Palmer and Royal Navy Leading Seaman Robbie Burns work together to lower a side-scanning sonar "towfish" into the waters off Naval Station, Pascagoula. Ens. Palmer is a member of the Naval Oceanographic Office's Fleet Survey Team (FST) and Seaman Burns is a member of the Royal Navy's Mobile Survey Team. Operating the side-scan recorder is U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Frank Schenk, and the coxswain is Leading Seaman Phil Briggs. The two teams are working together to conduct hydrographic survey operations in the harbor of Naval Station Pascagoula. The survey became necessary when ships began reporting depths varying from chart indications. Since its creation in 2000, the U.S. Navy's FST has recently completed similar work in Gaeta Bay and Brindisi, Italy; Apra Harbor, Guam; Kuwait City; and off the coast of Ingleside, Texas.
