This Nov. 11, 2014 photo provided by Jeani Groesbeck shows Ken Hartle at Veterans Day ceremonies at Webb Park in Rancho Bernardo, Calif. Hartle, believed to be the oldest surviving Navy salvage diver who worked the wreckage left after the Japanese attack on Pearl harbor in World War II, died Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2017. He was 103. Besides towing away unexploded Japanese torpedoes and raising sunken ships and planes, Hartle and his fellow Navy Seabees were often given the somber duty of bringing up the long-submerged bodies of sailors trapped underwater when their ships sank.
