HEALY is designed to conduct a wide range of research activities, providing more than 4,200 square feet of scientific laboratory space, numerous electronic sensor systems, oceanographic winches, and accommodations for up to 50 scientists. HEALY is designed to break 4 ½ feet of ice continuously at three knots and can operate in temperatures as low as -50 degrees F. The science community provided invaluable input on lab lay-outs and science capabilities during design and construction of the ship. At a time when scientific interest in the Arctic Ocean basin is intensifying, HEALY substantially enhances the United States Arctic research capability. As a Coast Guard cutter, HEALY is also a capable platform for supporting other potential missions in the polar regions, including logistics, search and rescue, ship escort, environmental protection, and enforcement of laws and treaties. instrument: title: Kongsberg EM122 Multibeam Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/9da1f3f0-9ec8-11e1-a8b0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Knudsen CHIRP 3260 Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/13a77470-679e-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Lockheed Martin Sippican eXpendable BathyThermograph/eXpendable Sound Velocimeter xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/d2054ed0-69c2-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Sea-Bird Electronics 911plus CTD Sensor xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/45080730-69c6-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Applanix POS/MV 320 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/491cba30-69c8-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 |
