210810-N-XL376-1001 VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Aug. 10, 2021) – Lt. Cmdr. Sal Dentu, a retired explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technician, talks about his experience disarming sea and land mines during the Gulf War as part of the Navy EOD’s birthday. The Navy’s first Mine Disposal class graduated 80 years ago signifying the birth of the EOD community on Aug. 22, 1941. As the Mine and Bomb Disposal units evolved into today’s Navy EOD community, the force has maintained its courage and innovation in facing new emerging threats.
