	USS Greeneville (SSN-772) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ehime Maru memorial is located in Kakaako Waterfront Park in Honolulu Hawaii.
		On 25 November, Ehime Maru was again lifted, towed back out to sea, and scuttled in 8,500 ft (2,600 m) of water south of Barbers Point, witnessed by three of the crewmembers' families.
		A memorial in Hawaii to Ehime Maru and her dead has been constructed.

	SignOnSanDiego Military -- New Plan to rig Ehime Maru for lift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Ehime Maru, which was used to train high school students how to fish, collided on Feb. 9 with the nuclear submarine USS Greeneville and sank about 9 miles south of the island of Oahu.
		Then the Ehime Maru could be lifted "out of the mud" by its bow and moved to a firm, flat spot not far away, Marsh said.
		The Ehime Maru would not be carried to shallow water with those cables because their only purpose was to get the bow out of the sea floor, Marsh said.

	WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? Analyst Says Media Reports on USS Greeneville to be erroneous [Free Republic]
		The Yamato-like prow of the Ehime Maru struck the port side of the USS Greeneville, indenting the hull to create the unusual parabolic score marks around the linear keel skid mark, which was discussed in my original analysis.
		The plans and photos of the Ehime Maru obtained by the writer show that the structure depicted hanging from her stern in the Navy video was in the design plan.
		Ehime Maru climbed over the back of USS Greeneville and was gutted by the vertical fin of the tail assembly as the submarine passed under her running horizontally and leveling through less that 10 feet of water.

	Ehime Maru Environmental Assessment Completed
		Before it is moved, Ehime Maru's deck will be cleared to the extent possible of cargo nets, fishing hooks and long lines, rafts and other obstacles that might impact the marine environment.
		Once Ehime Maru is stabilized at the shallow-water site, a team of U.S. Navy and U.S. Navy-trained Japanese divers will thoroughly search all safely accessible areas of the vessel to recover the missing crew members, other personal effects and certain unique characteristics of the ship, such as its nameplate and anchors.
		The structural damage to Ehime Maru may be greater than anticipated and thus pose a safety risk to recovery personnel or prevent the vessel to be moved intact.

		The result of the analyses was that the Ehime Maru could withstand a static steady state lift, but that the dynamic effect imparted by ocean swells could be a problem.
		Instead of using linear winches to lift the Ehime Maru from the shallow water sea floor, SUPSALV and Crowley opted to use ballast water to accomplish the lift.
		This was done by ballasting the barge down to a draft of 20 feet at the stern and connecting the lower lift frame assembly to four chains that were suspended from the rear of the barge.

		PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii -- After the Navy successfully lifted Ehime Maru and pulled two messenger wires under the ship, it discovered the forward messenger wire needed to be adjusted.
		Rockwater 2 used its main linear winches and a sling under Ehime Maru’s stern to lift it off the bottom while cranes on Rockwater 2 pulled the two 36mm messenger wires under the hull.
		A company contracted by the Navy recommended lifting the 750-metric ton Ehime Maru from where it lies about nine nautical miles south of Diamond Head and moving it while still submerged to a depth at which divers can reach it.

	ZNet Commentary
		On February 9, the U.S. nuclear attack submarine, the USS Greeneville, with visiting civilians in the control room, surfaced rapidly under a Japanese fishing vessel, the Ehime Maru, sinking it, apparently with the loss of nine lives.
		While the Ehire Maru may have been sunk off the coast of Hawaii, the incident was indicative of a pattern of subordinating the public interest to the interests of the U.S. military, a pattern that has victimized the Japanese people for more than fifty years.
		The U.S. Navy is conducting an investigation of the Greeneville's fatal collision with the Ehime Maru.

		Also in the area was the Ehime Maru, a 180ft training vessel from a Japanese fishery high school.
		The Ehime Maru was hit and sunk by the 360ft submarine as it performed what is called an emergency main ballast tank blow.
		It is not clear whether the submarine hit the Ehime Maru from beneath as it was breaking the surface, or if its bow slammed down on the vessel after shooting up and out of the water.

	Ehime Maru Successfully Moved to Final Relocation Site
		Before Ehime Maru began the day-long journey from the shallow-water recovery site off Honolulu International Airport’s Reef Runway, divers from Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 1 prepared the ship by ensuring there were no large pockets of diesel fuel aboard and by removing fishing gear, long line and other material on deck.
		An international team of civilian marine engineers determined that it was possible to lift the 830-ton Ehime Maru from 2,003 feet of seawater and relocate it in 115 feet of seawater where divers could enter the vessel to recover the missing crew members.
		It was Rockwater 2 that lifted Ehime Maru from 2,000 feet on Oct. 12, then gently set it down at the shallow-water recovery site about 1 mile south of the Reef Runway the afternoon of Oct. 14.

		Some accidents do not have to happen, such accidents like the Sidwell student drinking and driving, the child playing with his parents' loaded handgun, and the collision between the US nuclear submarine USS Greeneville and the Japanese fishing trawler Ehime Maru, resulting in the deaths of nine who were onboard the trawler.
		The purpose of the USS Greeneville's voyage when it collided with the Ehime Maru was to show off one of the Navy's principal assets, and in duality, build support for more of them.
		Similarly, the sonar technician could not tell Commander Scott Waddle that the Ehime Maru's estimated range had shrunk from 16,000 yards to 4,000 yards in fifteen seconds (a mistake made somewhere) because the Commander was so occupied with attending to his civilian guests.
