This project, submitted by the Scripps Institution of                           Oceanography on behalf of the University-National Oceanographic                 Laboratory System (UNOLS), Fleet Replacement Committee (FIC),                   will carry out a preliminary design study for a large, general                  purpose, monohull, research vessel (R/V).  The preliminary design               will amplify an earlier concept design by Glosten Associates                    which shows promise of creating a ship with comparable operating                costs to existing large R/V's, but with improved seakeeping and                 substantially greater flexibility and capability in meeting                     science mission requirements for the next generation of R/V's.                                                                                                  This project will provide valuable information and guidance to                  the NSF, other federal agencies and the ocean science community.                                                                                                The Project Director, Dr. F. N. Spiess, is a highly respected                   scientist and is quite capable of directing this project, having                had considerable experience in overseeing similar activities.
