The craft, completed last Sept, was being towed from Monterey Bay to San Francisco when rough seas halted recovery efforts.

The BARC, designed to carry up to 100 tons, was 61 feet long with 27 feet wide and driven by diesel engines and stern propellers. It had been demonstrated at Fort Ord and slated for display in San Francisco before further testing at Fort Story, Virginia.
