 Navy conservators and scientists are collaborating to produce a 3D laser scanning of a torpedo that was lost 115 years ago. Officials say the torpedo was lost in 1899 during a training exercise aboard USS Iowa and recovered in May 2013. 3D laser scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using light. The scan will capture the torpedo's exact size and shape into a computer as a digital 3D representation. Once the 3D scan of the torpedo is complete, it will be published online as an interactive education and outreach tool. For news and more information on the 3D scan of the lost torpedo, visit the Naval History and Heritage Command website. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa.
