Final Report on Contract N00014-89-D-0255 (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
2006
Ballard, Robert D.
This final report deals with a portion of a long-term funding relationship between the Deep Submergence Laboratory at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Deep Submergence Systems Division (OP23), Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. That portion of time extends from 1 September 1989 to 30 June 1991, during which time two specific efforts were carried out. The first to be discussed is called BANGOPS II which dealt with a long-term survey of Hood Canal using the remotely operated vehicle Jason and a variety of side-scan sonar systems. The second major effort carried out in the fall of 1989 involved the combined use of the remotely operated vehicle Jason, the DSL-120 side-scan sonar, and the manned submersible DSV Turtle. This latter effort was carried out aboard the R/V Laney Chouest and involved a detailed survey of Forty Mile Bank off the southern coast of California. The multi- narrow-beam mapping system Sea Beam which is mounted on the Laney Chouest was also used as a part of this survey.
