One of the seven special-ops Marines killed in the crash of a Black Hawk helicopter in Florida on Tuesday was a staff sergeant from Queens — and another was a captain from Basking Ridge, NJ.

Staff Sgt. Liam Flynn of Queens was born in Reading, England, and moved to Queens in 2002, when he enlisted in the Marines. He was then assigned to Camp LeJeune, NC, and served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Capt. Stanford Henry Shaw III of Basking Ridge graduated from the US Naval Academy in 2006 and was later assigned to the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines. He served two tours of duty in Iraq, according to Marine officials at Camp Lejeune.

The other killed Marines were identified Friday as Master Sgt. Thomas Saunders of Camp Lejeune; Staff Sgt. Trevor P. Blaylock of Lake Orion, Mich.; Staff Sgt. Andrew Seif of Holland, Mich.; Staff Sgt. Kerry Kemp of Memphis, Tenn.; and Staff Sgt. Marcus Bawol of Warren, Mich.

The salvage of the chopper — in which four Louisiana National Guard soldiers also were killed during training — could begin Friday afternoon, the military said. The work to remove the chopper’s core from about 25 feet of water could take up to eight hours.

A Coast Guard dive team was expected to help with the operation. Officials said the recovery would end if weather conditions deteriorated.

The cause of the crash is being investigated by the US Army Combat Readiness Center out of Fort Rucker, Ala.

Jenna Kemp’s husband, Kerry Kemp, was a “proud Marine, a loving husband and most wonderful father,” with a child about to turn 1, said her sister, Lora Waraksa of Port Washington, Wis.

Seif had been awarded the Silver Star just days before his death for treating his teammate, Sgt. Justin Hansen, under fire in Afghanistan.

All the Marines were from the 2nd Special Operations Battalion of the Marine Corps Special Operations Command.

The names of the dead soldiers have not yet been released.
