Description
When USS Hornet had moved close enough to Columbia, an inhaul line attached to the ship's B&A crane was thrown to the UDT swimmers. Its hook was attached to the spacecraft recovery loop (at the top). A special NASA tensioning winch, along with the ship's crew, slowly pulled the spacecraft closer to the B&A crane for lifting. UDT swimmer John Wolfram (with sunflower appliqué) stands atop the CM holding the actual lifting sling, ready to snap the crane's hook into it when appropriate. From left to right, the UDT recovery team is LTJG Clancy Hatleberg, LTJG Wes Chesser, QM3 Michael Mallory and SN John Wolfram.
