The Lamont.Doherty Geological Observatory (L.DGO) of Columbia                   University will replace the R/V CONRAD with the M/V BERNIER and                 modify the BERNIER for use in support of ocean science research.                                                                                                L.DGO currently operates the 209.foot, Navy.owned R/V CONRAD.                   The CONRAD is 26 years old and its capabilities regarding future                research project needs are severely restricted by size, load                    capacity, laboratory space, endurance and machinery limitations.                The Navy has scheduled CONRAD for retirement by 1991 or sooner.                                                                                                 The 239.foot, 5.year old R/V BERNIER, with the planned                          modifications, meets all of the University.National Oceanographic               Laboratory System (UNOLS) projected science requirements for a                  medium.to.high endurance, general purpose oceanographic research                vessel.  It will also provide enhanced capabilities for marine                  geology and geophysics field programs including multichannel                    seismic studies.                                                                                                                                                A modern and efficiently operated academic research fleet is                    essential to field programs in the ocean sciences.  The                         capabilities of the existing research fleet must be substantially               improved if forefront ocean sciences research is to be                          successfully pursued during the next decade.  Better sea.keeping                ability, higher performance, improved over.the.side handling                    arrangements, and modern state.of.the.art ship board laboratories               are needed to meet these requirements.                                                                                                                          The replacement of the CONRAD by the BERNIER will assist with the               required upgrading of the national academic research fleet to                   provide support for high.latitude field research studies in the                 World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), the Global Ocean Flux                Study (GOFS) and other geoscience programs.  It will provide                    support for multichannel seismic studies required by the Ridge                  Interdisciplinary Global Experiments (RIDGE) program and                        capabilities for site surveys in support of the Ocean Drilling                  Program.
