Clearance Divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic (FDU(A)) bring unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO) from the wreckage of the sunken ship SS Rose Castle to the surface for safe disposal at a Canadian Forces range, during the retrieval mission off the coast of Bell Island in Newfoundland. The materials are then taken for safe disposal at a Canadian Armed Forces shooting range. Rose Castle is one of several ships, including SS Saganaga that were attacked and sunk by a German U-boat in 1942.
