Salvage team members and rescue workers put a part of a sunken naval vessel on a barge after they lifted it with a giant crane, off Baengnyeongdo island near the maritime border with North Korea, northwest of Seoul April 15, 2010. South Korea's military began lifting on Thursday the stern of the naval ship in order to determine what caused a blast that sank it last month near a contested border with the North. The South's defence minister said this month that the 1,200-tonne Cheonan may have been hit by a North Korean torpedo, stoking concerns that the incident could start a conflict.
