Story highlights Wreckage found 3 miles deep in ocean ID'd as El Faro cargo ship, Navy says 
 
 Remote submarine with camera will spend at least 15 days searching beneath water 
 
 El Faro disappeared last month near the Bahamas with 33 people on board 
 
 (CNN) The U.S. Navy, using a remotely controlled submersible operating almost 3 miles below the ocean's surface, has identified the cargo ship El Faro, Navy spokesman Christopher Johnson said Monday. The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday on Twitter that the survey of the area will continue. Search crews using sonar over the weekend found wreckage that appeared to resemble a 790-foot cargo ship in an upright position, the NTSB said. Despite the wealth of technology involved in the search for El Faro survivors, eyes are still one of the most important tools in the search, and everyone is expected to keep a look out.
– On Saturday, the US Navy found what it believed to be the wreckage of the El Faro cargo ship that went missing in Hurricane Joaquin last month; on Monday, that news transitioned to proof positive, per a Navy spokesman, CNN reports. The affirmative identification was confirmed by the National Transportation Safety Board on Twitter, the AP adds. Crew on the USNS Apache had been working since Sunday to positively identify the cargo ship, using a special CURV-21 submarine equipped with recording equipment. Next on the sub's to-do list: find the El Faro's data recorder, CNN notes. (Meanwhile, the ship's owner says the wreck wasn't its fault.)
