Development Squadron 5 Receives First Unmanned Undersea Vehicle

Commander, Submarine Development Squadron Five (CSDS 5), Detachment UUV, took delivery of Large Training Vehicle 38 (LTV 38), an unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) on Aug. 22.

The delivery makes LTV 38 the first UUV to join the vehicle inventory used by Detachment UUV. Once a few final operational preparations are completed over the next few weeks, it will be ready to hit the water for both capabilities tests and proficiency training.
