The organization scanned the entire boat and stitched all the images together in a multidimensional model of the site. Dealey was the Harder’s first and only commander.before entering the United States Naval Academy. He graduated in 1930 and served on various battleships, destroyers and submarines before taking command of Harder in December 1942.
