NOAA WANTS NEW ENGLAND STUDENTS TO NAME NEW FEDERAL
RESEARCH SHIP
Twin Hull Vessel Will Map the Seafloor for New Nautical Charts
NOAA is inviting students in the Northeast to get creative and
become involved in the nation's maritime heritage by holding
a ship naming contest for sixth- to twelfth-grade students in
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island
and Vermont. The top team will name a new Small Waterplane Area
Twin Hull Coast Mapping Vessel (SWATH CMV), the first ship of
its kind to be built for NOAA. "This is an exciting opportunity
for students to learn more about NOAA's coast survey heritage
and make their mark in history," said retired Navy Vice
Admiral Conrad Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce
for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "We hope
that everyone who participates learns more about how the safe
navigation of vessels is essential to the nation's economy and
national security."
