The rescued crew members were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and released with minor injuries. I wish to add my personal thanks to the crew of Mauler 4. High School students will repair outdated, excess Carderock Division computer equipment. Once repaired, the computers will be funneled to local elementary school students. There will always be surplus government equipment.
Typical computers become obsolete in five years.
When classes resume in the fall, Ellis and another Carderock Division employee, Paul Honke, will donate one afternoon a week to teaching the teens how to fix computers. The Carderock Division researches, develops, tests and evaluates new concepts and technologies to be applied in creating the Navy's surface and undersea vehicles of the 21st century. San Diego and area branch clinics spent a recent weekend helping homeless veterans. The 47 dental volunteers set up a clinic with two dental vans and two portable chairs on Friday evening and worked through the weekend providing 145 veterans with dental examinations, oral health counseling and emergency oral surgery treatment. Officers and enlisted volunteers drove from as far away as China Lake and Port Hueneme to help support this year's event in San Diego.
