Hi Doc-
The Navy is anticipating to bring it up this summer, but most of us think that may be a tad over-optimistic. They first need to excavate the turret, which in of itself, will take a bit of work. Then, they need to remove the cannon and carriages out from the turret. Then, they need to secure the turret, extract it from the wreck, and then lift it, the means of which they have not determined yet. Expect the guns to come up this year, but the turret will probably sit until next summer. There may be some other surprises in the turret, such as personal effects, bell (!) etc.
I was hoping no one would see that TLC show. the horror, the horror. If I knew that was going to be the finished product, I don't think I would have done it. They definitely had some kooks on there. However, it did pay for what would have been a very expensive trip. We also have some good stories about the production guys that went out there with us.
The camera seized at depth so we got no footage of the wreck aside from the top of the hull at ~350-370fsw. Then it locked up. Pity, as the huge warsaw grouper were outrageous. Everything on the show was contrived, which is obvious to divers as I don't think you would see a recreational diver with a single tank at 400fsw.
Hope you have a good dive season.
Cheers,
Mike
