U.S. Navy divers will need to take exceptional caution because of the strong likelihood that live ammunition and powder are still inside the wreckage.
Risk Management Planning The program manager directing the slavage project group and the project stakeholders will, in accordance with ATOM (David Hillson, 2012), assure that the risks are recognized, and peoperly managed through the lifecycle of the salvage project. Hazards, both negative and postive, will be classified promptly so that the risks do not overall impact on the project. The Project Manager using the ATOM method will serve as the Risk Manager for this project.
