Bobbie Scholley retired from the U.S. Navy in 2005 after over 24 years of service. Commissioned in 1981 as a surface warfare officer, she served aboard various ships and shore commands. She is a seasoned speaker and is routinely called upon to provide her expertise for news interviews, such as during the Titan submersible search and recovery and the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse.
Join Bobbie as she tells the story of the US Navy’s Salvage and Recovery Operation for the USS Monitor Expedition 2002, for which she was the On Scene Commander. Learn how the Navy partnered with NOAA and the Mariners’ Museum to plan and execute a historic diving operation, which included recovering the Monitor’s unique revolving gun turret and other artifacts from 240 feet underwater off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC.
