            <gco:CharacterString>The R/V Seward Johnson, namesake of Harbor Branch founder J. 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>

            <gco:CharacterString>The Johnson Sea Link II, or "JSL2", is a 914m (3,000ft) rated ocean exploration human occupied vehicle (HOV) built by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. Operating from the ship R/V Seward Johnson, JSL2 has two separate pressure hulls, can accommodate four people, and travels at a maximum speed of one knot. The front chamber contains a 5-ft-diameter sphere made of five-in thick, clear acrylic that provides a panoramic view for the pilot and one observer. The second chamber, the stern compartment, houses another crewmember and a second observer who have access to two side view ports and a video monitor. The JSL2 is equipped with an active sonar system and xenon arc lights which illuminate underwater scenes in "true color," resembling daylight conditions. It's also outfitted with exterior still and video cameras on an extendable platform, a hydraulic robotic arm, suction tube, claw, scoop, and sampling jars. The sub can be retrofitted with a wide range of additional equipment to best fit the research needs. The Johnson Sea Link II was retired in 2011 after the support ship the R/V Seward Johnson was sold to Cepemar Environmental Services of Brazil.</gco:CharacterString>

	Revisions:
		2026-03-01 : Initial BEDI-specific cruise-level template (derived from OER NOFO template).
		2026-04-20 : BEDI fork aligned with OER_EX_Cruise_Level_Template_noDOI-20260420 (Jason: Data License Statement docucomp anchor 493b9ff1-4465-404d-bcdf-e0fe1cedb14f); no Okeanos-only acquisition/keyword blocks.
		2026-04-24 : Renamed vendored copy for Metadata Open Office hours; content matches 20260420 generator wiring (placeholders, fragments, acquisition via platform_snippets).
		2026-07-21 : Align BEDI collection output with current review notes: Data License Statement as a direct resourceConstraints component and inline MI_Platform snippets instead of platform docucomp xlinks.
		2026-07-22 : Restore platform docucomp xlinks per reviewer direction; keep collection instruments empty and preserve camera_code values as Provider Instruments keywords.
