With the use of an underwater ROV, we are able to see the inside of the U.S.S. Arizona which sits on the bottom of Pearl Harbor.
Working in partnership with the National Parks Service (NPS) Submerged Resources Center, WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument and E-trac, Deep Trekker staff were onsite the USS Arizona memorial to support sonar surveying of the battleship using the larger Deep Trekker ROV, the DTX2. While onsite, the team was asked to perform the first live survey for Donald Stratton and his family who were in attendance.
“It was absolutely one of the most emotional and touching experiences of my life,” explained Sam Macdonald, President of Deep Trekker Inc., who was piloting the DTG2 ROV for Mr. Stratton and Brett Seymore, deputy chief of the NPS Submerged Resources Center who was providing directions and commentary for the survey. “It was not part of our original plan during our time in Pearl Harbor, and we were extremely honored to have been asked to take part.”
"The phone was there on the desk and the lightbulb was in the socket. It’s just kind of eerie,” said Donald Stratton to Fox News, who was on board the ship on Dec. 7, 1941. “I never thought you could see something like that 75 years later.”

The USS Arizona is not the first ship that Deep Trekker has explored. The underwater ROV has spent some time off the coast of Lillesand, Norway; searching for the remains of the Rio de Janeiro, a sunken German warship.
