LAST OF THE MK 57 MINES

Photo was taken in late 1990 At Det. 7 Hawaii. This was the last service MK 57 in the mineforce
to be prepped for demil. This demil action encompassed bringing the anchor/mech sections into the shop
and separating the anchor from it. The anchor went into a 55 gallon drum and was shipped to a contractor for either land burial or burning (not sure). The mech sections got recrated and went to Hawthorne, NV.
