Oceanographers are embracing a host of remote technologies that can facilitate the collection of data, but will continue to require capable, adaptable research vessels for access to the sea for the foreseeable future. Maintaining U.S. leadership in ocean research will require investing in larger and more capable general purpose Global and Regional class ships; involving the scientific community in all phases of ship design and acquisition; and improving coordination between agencies that operate research fleets."--Publisher's description.Research vesselsUnited StatesOceanographic research shipsUnited StatesOceanographic research shipsUnited StatesDesignOceanographyResearchUnited StatesResearch vesselsOceanographic research shipsOceanographic research shipsDesign.OceanographyResearch623.82National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Evolution of the National Oceanographic Research Fleet.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781188603321Science at sea3742460UNINA
