The Pentagon clearly wants to recover ever piece of the balloon it can, using the expertise of Navy divers to search the chilly waters, the New York Times reported.
The balloon wasover Myrtle Beach, SC, and landed in just 47 feet of water, which should make its recovery relatively easy, US officials said.
“There are a number of US Navy and Coast Guard vessels establishing a security perimeter around the area where the balloon came to Earth,” the Department of Defense said in a statement. The Navy has deployed multiple ships, including the destroyer USS Oscar Austin, the cruiser USS Philippine Sea and the USS Carter Hall, an amphibious landing ship, to support the recovery efforts.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday that the full United States Senate will “receive a China briefing next week.
“The parameters usually involve where we stand with respect to China on everything from surveillance capabilities, research and development, advance weapons systems, and other critical platforms that would allow for either side to have an upper hand in a toe to toe conflict.”
