New York, United States - May 24, 2025 A dramatic scene unfolded in Times Square as Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group TWO took center stage during Fleet Week 2025 on May 24. Inside a dive tank, a Navy service member wearing full explosive ordnance gear surprised and delighted the crowd by playing tic-tac-toe through the glass wall. Spectators lined up to take turns, drawing Xs and Os on the outside as the diver responded from within, all while submerged. The interactive moment added a personal, lighthearted connection to the serious and high-risk work performed by Navy EOD specialists.
