Kursk Salvage Team Set Sail.

<HTML>Hi all
For those interested in the Kursk, a short column I found in today\'s Daily Mail newspaper.

Quote: \" The grim task of recovering the sunken Russian submarine Kursk got under way yesterday (Friday July 6th 2001) as a British-led salvage team set sail from Scotland.
The Â£54 million pound operation in the Barents Sea to lift the massive vessel - in which 116 crew members died in a mystery explosion last August - is the largest and most dangerous ever attempted.
Specialist divers have been training aboard the hi-tech diving support vessel Mayo in Aberdeen.
They will spend weeks attaching 26 steel cables to the wreck, before it is lifted inch by inch and suspended beneath a pontoon and towed 90 miles to the Russian Arctic port of Murmansk some time in September\". (Unquote).
Daily Mail Newspapers - Saturday, July 7, 2001, p 43.

Lets wish them luck in their grim task!
