The 133-foot ship was outfitted as a muli-purpose platform with both wet and dry laboratory spaces, equipped with flowing fresh water, microcomputer, CTD, Sidescan sonar and hydrographic data acquisition systems. Operating out of Charleston, South Carolina, the Ferrel participated in multiple NOAA expeditions to investigate the US National Marine Sanctuaries. Commissioned in June 1968, the Ferrel had an endurance of nine days at sea and a range of 1,200 nautical miles with a cruising speed of 10 knots. The Ferrel carried a complement of three officers, eight crew members, and up to eight scientists. To conduct over-the-side operations, the various instruments used in the Ferrel's work were prepared and deployed through the combination of a large open fantail, an aft-mounted crane, a trawl winch, and a moveable A-frame, as well as a davit arm and oceanographic winch located midships. SCUBA diving operations was a primary activity launched from the Ferrel. NOAA Ship Ferrel was decommissioned on November 21, 2002, and is no longer in service. </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/component/02527da0-6aaa-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66" xlink:title="NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A Marine Operations Center - Atlantic (owner)"/> </gmi:MI_Platform>
