Submarine drones missing. The Navy continued its search for four missing Underwater Unmanned Vehicles on Wednesday. Crews from Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 1 lost communication with the UUVs near the Thimble Shoals Channel, between the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, during a training exercise Sunday The missing units are Remote Environmental Monitoring Units (REMUS) 100 Swordfish Underwater Unmanned Vehicles. The Navy uses them to counter the threat from underwater mines. CDR John Schiller, the Executive Officer of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 1, told WAVY News 10 the REMUS 100 have “been deployed all over the world.” “Sometimes you get issues where the sonar signal actually bounces off layers within the water that impede your ability to communicate with them,” said CDR Schiller. While crews lost contact with the UUVs when the vehicles were near the Thimble Shoals Channel, the search area for finding the missing units has expanded considerably since Sunday. The Navy says it’s looking as far south as the Outer Banks of North Carolina. “Our search is based upon probability, based on the tides, currents and what’s called sea, air, rescue models,” said Schiller. Once lifeless, the Navy says the UUVs become floaters. “If we lose communication with them, they tend to rise to the surface at the end of their mission and then they are washed ashore somewhere,” said Schiller. The REMUS 100 is relatively new technology …
this is me doing the crappy filming of this vid. You can see Joaquin Phoenix, Jacinda Barrett, travolta and some irish faced executive producer that probobly didn’t do anything doing the film named ray or gary or jay.

Hello and this is when we went to Kenya in Africa last year we went on a safari and saw the following wild dogs, elephants, gazelles, porcupines, monkeys, lions, leopards, cheetah, giraffes, buffalo, crocodile, hippo and we saw some baboons and dick dicks as well and we saw hyenas and deers and flamingo the story behind the orphanage My mum is a teacher and at her school she got her class to bring in 100+ shirts and the kids put hand prints on them and they were in the newspapers and everything. We found an orphanage in Kenya and we went on holiday there and gave them all the shirts not every shirt fit them but they pass the other shirts down to new people in the orphanage. The kids in the orphanage were not very well most had HIV though they were lucky compared to the village we went to but we caught a swordfish in the Indian Ocean and donated it to the village and it fed them for 3 days. we also caught a tuna and we then donated that to the orphanage but we didn’t film that because we didn’t want to take advantage and they had a fully grown tuna to eat that night. The orphanage had a library with barely any books and they had 5 computers (old computers) only 3 were working and the only game they could play was snake and it made me realise that I am so lucky and should not complain because there are people a lot more unlucky than me in this world and it’s opened my eyes and it was quite sad to be honest. we did stay at 3 lodges on the safari and I would recommend anyone …
