first two vessels of the AGOR-
(U) class will be built at Halter-
Marine Services, Inc., in New
Orleans. Delivery is scheduled in
about 14 months.
Admiral Snyder said the basic
cost for construction of each ves
sel will be about $1.8 million.
Each will be outfitted with ocean
ographic equipment valued at
approximately $800,000.
The second vessel goes to the
University of Hawaii, the ad
miral said. Both ships will be
outfitted by TAMU’s Oceanogra
phy Department at its new ma
rine logistic support facility on
Pelican Island in Galveston.
AGOR(U) class ships will be
172 feet long and accommodate
approximately 28 persons, in
cluding scientific party and crew.
The twin-screw steel-hull craft
will cruise at 12 knots, with a
range of approximately 8,000
miles.
“The AGOR(U) can easily sat
isfy Texas A&M University’s
forecast requirement for 260
ship-operating days per year in
the 1974-to-1978 time frame and
should offer significant improve
ments in capability, reliability
and economy of operations,’’ not
ed Rear Adm. C. O. Holmquist,
chief of naval research and as
sistant oceanographer for ocean
science.
TAMU currently operates three
oceanographic research vessels,
in addition to three craft used
for water pollution research in
bays and estuaries.
“This new vessel will greatly
enhance our capability to conduct
a comprehensive program as we
continue to expand our deep
water activities in the Gulf of
Mexico, Caribbean and Atlantic,”
emphasized Dr. Richard A. Gey-
er, head of TAMU’s Oceanogra
phy Department.
Funds to assist in operating
the new ship will be provided by
the Office of Naval Research and
the National Science Foundation,
Dr. Geyer added.
Capt. Henry Rowe of the
TAMU Oceanography Depart
ment will serve as the univer
sity’s liaison in New Orleans
during construction. He also will
be in. charge of outfitting both
vessels.
