Search Resumes for CVR from Doomed Lion Air 737
Indonesian Navy deploys a survey ship as the recorder’s locator beacon approaches the end of its service life.

Indonesian teams have resumed efforts to locate the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 that crashed into the Java Sea on October 29. The Indonesian Navy's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Center, in collaboration with the country’s National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT), has deployed an oceanographic survey ship called the KRI Spica-934 in hopes of detecting acoustic signals from the CVR, believed submerged in mud and located some 150 feet from where search crews retrieved the flight data recorder (FDR).
