To whom does the RVDO hand off the OOV after maneuvering it away from the ship for handover?

• A. RVO and RSO
• B. TAO
• C. CM
• D. MP/PMAO

Answer: (A)

The handoff goes to the two on-scene operators who are responsible for the OOV’s custody during transfer: the RVO, who operates the recovered vessel, and the RSO, who provides the safety oversight during the handover. After the RVDO maneuvers the OOV away from the ship for a controlled handover, these two roles are the ones positioned to receive and assume control, ensuring both operational control and safety criteria are met. The other roles (tactical officer on the bridge, crew-master, or mission/administrative officers) do not directly manage the OOV handover, so they aren’t the receiving authority for this transfer.
