Royal Navy Salvage Operations

Royal Navy salvage operations involve specialized efforts to recover ships, aircraft, or equipment that are damaged, stranded, or sinking at sea. These operations include assessing the situation, stabilizing the vessel, and using equipment like cranes, divers, and remotely operated vehicles to remove debris or refloat vessels. The goal is to prevent environmental hazards, protect maritime safety, and recover valuable assets. Conducted by trained salvage teams, these operations often require expertise in diving, marine engineering, and environmental protection to ensure efficient and safe recovery in challenging conditions.
