Seward Johnson, Sr., was a 204-foot oceanographic and submersible-support research vessel. Built in 1984, commissioned in 1985 and extensively rebuilt and stretched in 1994. A 6,000 nautical mile range and a speed of 13 knots is delivered by two 850 horse power engines. The vessel is capable of traveling and working in any of the world's oceans while accommodating up to 40 people (29 investigators, sub crew, or technicians; 11 ship's crew). Typical applications undertaken by the vessel included submersible/remotely operated vehicle (ROV) support, large towed systems support, deployment and retrieval of moored devices, surface oceanographic/hydrographic applications, and diving support. The ship also had a CTD with a dedicated crew of technicians that operated this and other standard oceanographic instrumentation. The R/V Seward Johnson was primarily a submersible tender designed to support manned sub operations, as well as ROV operations. Specifically, occasionally the Clelia, and most often the Johnson-Sea-Link (JSL) and Johnson-Sea-Link II (JSL2). The R/V Seward Johnson was sold in 2010 to the Cepemar Group, a Brazilian environmental consulting firm, and is no longer operated by the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/08D95C427FB128479945893256DADE37" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:title="NOAA/OAR/OER - Ocean Exploration and Research (POC)"/> <gmi:instrument gco:nilReason="unknown" xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"/> </gmi:MI_Platform>
