The Marine amphibious assault vehicle that sank off the Southern California coast while carrying eight Marines and a Navy corpsman during a training exercise last week was found with human remains after an intensive search effort, the military said Tuesday.

The landing craft sank 385 feet after taking on water during a ship-to-shore maneuver off the coast of San Clemente Island on Thursday.

The Navy is working to recover the bodies of the service members and the assault vehicle.

The Navy Undersea Rescue Command confirmed the detection of the Marine landing craft and human remains off the coast of Southern California. .

The vehicle, known as an AAV, or “amtrac” for “amphibious tractor,” is used to take Marines and their gear from Navy ships to land.
