. >> hey, don, we just arrived here at garden island. this is australia's largest naval base on their western coast. the reason we're here is because we're monitoring the movements here of ocean shield. you see it. you can't miss it, really, it's bright red, docked here at the naval base. it arrived here over the weekend. crews have been very busy here. they've been outfitting this ship with u.s. navy technology that we hope is going to really help in this search. there is the tpl, that towed pinger locator. it's basically a giant underwater microphone. you tow it behind the ship and it listens for the fading ping from the cockpit voice recorder and inflight data reporter. this is critical in the next few days because we know about a week left. that's how much battery life there is before those pings stop. when the pings stop, there is another piece of technology in the ocean field called the bluefin 21. basically, it's an underwater drone. this thing can go down under water and scan the bottom of the ocean. it can map out if there is an

so we are just -- this is garden island behind me. and fremantle behind me as well. as you mentioned, a very large naval base. we're actually just outside what they call the exclusion zone here in the sound. the reason that we can't get much closer than that is this is a military operation. and so if you're photographing, you know, the operations here too close, it could potentially be a security risk. so the australian navy, we actually had the water police, the western australia water police come by and visit us as well. very nice. the country has been very nice us to. but they asked us to move back just a bit. but you can still get a good shot of the ocean shield. and it really stands out. it's distinctive, bright red. as we follow this, when this ship does depart and we're able to get a little bit closer to it as we go behind it, it goes about 15 knots. we can keep up with that in this fishing boat that we're in, the thunder. you know, we'll be able do show you what is happening. but essentially, there is 30 people, don, on board that ship. 11 of them specificall

after they take off from sterling air base here on garden island, which is western australia's biggest air base, they're going to be heading to rot nest island where they'll be conducting some tests, making sure this equipment works properly before they head out towards the indian ocean search area. it will take about three days to get there. the captain of the boat that we're on has been talking a lot about these pretty challenging weather conditions the ship could face. the water's only about 100 feet deep right here. out there, it's 14,000 feet deep and things can get really ugly in a hurry. >> some days it's really calm, but other days it's absolutely wild. that's why the air force can't fly sometimes and the visibility with the rain and that, you can't, just can't see anything. and if there's anything in the water, everything just looks white because the wind just whips the top off the water and everything is white. >> reporter: now, of course, for this equipment to work, you need to have a smaller search area than what we have right now. right now, the ships that are out there ar

but that's garden island behind me. sterling naval base there. the ocean shield is the red ship behind me. it will be departing at 6:00 local time. so it will be just a few hours from now. it's going to sail a few miles that way where they'll be testing out the equipment on board to make sure it works okay. that will happen in the evening hours here. if those tests go as planned, if things are going smoothly, the ship will begin deploying overnight towards the indian ocean. the ship can sail 24-7, it will take about three days to get to the search area, where they'll be on stand by for when we locate a debris field. until we do that, even though we have high tech equipment, lit serve mostly as just one of the other search ships looking for debris that's floating on the surface of the indian ocean. >> so it will set off in about 2 1/2 hours or so. and it had been delayed for some hours. talk to us about what needed to be done in that time, why it wasn't ready to set off. >> reporter: so the ship arrived from sidney over the weekend, over the past

the ocean shield departed garden island which is western australia's largest naval base within the last hour and we have new video to show you. we were following it but i have to tell you it was going so quickly that one of the other boats with news cameras on it, as they were trying to keep up, we were trying to keep up, their engine died, they put out an s.o.s. call so we had to stop the chase, turn around and help that boat because they were in a busy shipping lane. we want to show you the video we were able to follow the ocean shield for quite some time and i want to bring in the captain of the boat that we're on, the thunder, the captain to talk about how fast was the boat going and talk about those moments as we were following it, captain. >> we started off, he was running about 8 to 10 knots. by time he was doing 15 knots we were still in the channel. next thing we know we were getting a flashing s.o.s. from a boat that was there as well, lost someone over the side. always an emergency. and we had to give up following the ocean shield because could it be risk of life. >> yeah. as

. >> we are heading away now from garden island off the coast of australia where the "ocean shield" beganill attempt to locate the wreckage of flight 370. this journey -- this ship has a lot of crucial technology on it. technology that could be the key to solving this mystery. there's a black box locator, a giant underwater microphone that is towed behind this boat listening for the sound from the in-flight data recorder and voice recorder. but the problem is, that giant microphone, as powerful as it is, can only hear for about a mile around. we have to be within a mile of the black box to get a signal. and with only about a week of battery life left and still no clear leads as to where 370 may be in this massive indian ocean, the technology pretty much will be useful unless we can narrow down that information. there's other technology oh this ship as well. an underwater drone that can scan the floor of the ocean looking for debris but again that can only cover about 50 square mile as day and we're talking about a search area that is well over 100,000 square miles. the task of finding thi
