Description: At sea aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS Denver (LPD 9) Jun. 19, 1997 -- Machinery Repairman 3rd Class Erin Telitz and Signalman 1st Class Joel Blea attached to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 3 (EOD Mob. Unit 3) talk with a “patient” inside a transportable recompression chamber system (TRCS) during Exercise Kernel Blitz '97. These devices are used on divers who are brought to the surface too quickly for the body to properly decompress. The chamber recompresses the diver to a safe depth, and then slowly recompresses to normal pressure. Kernel Blitz ‘97 was an exercise near the Southern California coast designed to train U.S. Sailors and Marines and Canadian and Australian troops in amphibious operations.
