Launching a REMUS 600 vehicle from the A-frame of Research Vessel Kilo Moana during the Deepwater Surveys of World War II U.S. Cultural Assets in the Saipan Channel expedition. The vehicle is raised, then the A-frame is moved aft, over the water, and the vehicle can then be lowered to the sea surface. Taglines help ensure that after the vehicle is released, the brailer does not swing and can be controlled as it is lowered onto the deck.
