9625720布朗迈阿密大学将在1996年期间作为支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目的一般海洋学船来操作R/V Calanus。R/V ISELIN是迈阿密大学拥有和建造的一艘170英尺的通用研究船，在1994年搁浅后停止使用。该大学打算出售这艘船。Calanus号是迈阿密大学拥有的一艘68英尺高的普通科考船。Calanus计划在1996年进行87天，其中24天用于支持NSF赞助的研究。Calanus号将在迈阿密海岸进行一系列短途巡航，并在巴哈马群岛进行三次巡航。Calanus是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋研究的舰队的一部分。大多数海洋研究需要高度专业化的设备，这些设备必须永久安装在必须为其专门设计的船只上。这种设备还需要训练有素的船员进行维护和操作。这些船只的运作方式与普通货船或渔船不同，因此NSF支持由全国各地的大学和研究机构运营的各种专门用于海洋研究的船只的运作。***

9625720 BROWN The University of Miami will operate the R/V CALANUS during 1996 as a general oceanographic vessels in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The R/V ISELIN a 170' general research vessel owned and constructed by the University of Miami is out of service following a grounding in 1994. The University intends to sale the vessel. The CALANUS is a 68' general research vessel owned by the University of Miami. The CALANUS is scheduled for 87 days in 1996 of which 24 are in support of NSF-sponsored research. The Calanus will do a series of short cruises of the coast of Miami with three cruises in the Bahamas. The CALANUS is part of a fleet used by NSF to support oceanographic research. Most oceanographic research requires highly specialized equipment that must be permanently installed on a ship for which the ship must be specifically designed. This equipment also requires highly trained crew members for maintenance and operation. These vessels do not operate in the same manner as general cargo or fishing vessels, therefore NSF supports the operation of a variety of vessels specifically dedicated to oceanographic research that are operated by universities and research institutions around the country. ***
