Scientific Outfitting, Third phase R/V Robert Gordon Sproul

该项目将支持改进斯克里普斯海洋学研究所拥有和运营的、专门用于支持海洋科学研究的R·G·斯普罗尔考察船。海洋学中心和设施科的建造或改装活动通过支助建造或改装船只，为提高海洋科学研究船的能力提供资金。为新的甲板室、改进的科学实验室空间、设备、加长的船舶，甚至新的船舶建造提供支持。项目主任、斯克里普斯副主任乔治·G·肖尔博士完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督类似活动方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将完成在主甲板上安装一系列Boltdown配件，重新配置头部/淋浴/洗手间空间以获得更多隐私，并安装一个进水口隔间用于无污染海水实验。

This project will support improvements to the research vessel R. G. SPROUL, owned and operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Construction or Conversion activity of the Oceanographic Centers and Facilities Section provides funds for upgrading the capabilities of ocean science research vessels through support of ship construction or conversion. Support is provided for such things as new deckhouses, improved science laboratory spaces, equipment, the lengthening of ships and even new ship construction. The Project Director, Dr.George G. Shor, Associate Director, Scripps, is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing similar activities. This project will complete the installation of an array of boltdown fittings in the main deck, reconfigure a head/shower/washroom space for more privacy, and install an intake compartment for uncontaminated seawater experiments.
