This highlights the role that ROVs play in evaluating World War II shipwrecks and the potentially hazardous material that they may still contain. Resting on the ocean bottom for nearly 70 years, the hulls of these shipwrecks have no doubt deteriorated; if they still contain fuel oil, these wrecks pose the very real threat of an environmental
disaster. Assessing the condition of the shipwrecks and determining what to do with any hazardous material that remains on board is the very real world challenge facing this year’s competition teams.
