FTS completes Korea survey

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. -- A five-person crew from Fleet Survey Team (FST) returned from South Korea last month after a 33-day survey of the Han River, looking for unaccounted-for U.S. servicemen from the Korean War. FST was looking for the crash sites of three U.S. aircraft in support of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC). No aircraft remains were positively identified, but FST will provide JPAC with detailed bathymetry and sidescan imagery of the area surveyed for further analysis. FST is a rapid-response team with capabilities to conduct quick-turnaround hydrographic surveys anywhere in the world. (Source: NNS, 12/12/11)
