Located on the weather deck at the stern is the articulated, heavy lifting A-frame. A main crane can reach the entire aft deck. Equipment for CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) casting, including instrumentation and a launch and recovery system is an integral part of the vessel&#8217;s functionality. Below, on the 01 Deck, one will find the oceanographic traction winch and a hydrographic winch. A portable crane, portable winch, and portable side A-frame will also be standard equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>Propulsion<\/h3>\n<p><em>Narragansett Dawn<\/em> will have propulsion and navigation systems that make precise station-keeping and track-line maneuvering possible. Water-column sampling and data collection, sediment coring and deployment, and recovery of scientific packages relies on that capability.<\/p>\n<h3>Acoustics<\/h3>\n<p>To support acoustically sensitive instruments (and to make the ship more livable), the vessel has been designed to minimize underwater and airborne noise. A suite of acoustic devices will include multibeam sonars, acoustic doppler current profilers and fisheries sonars.<\/p>\n<h3>Green Scheme<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cGreen Ship\u201d features for hull, propulsion, electrical, auxiliary and pollution control systems will minimize the vessel&#8217;s environmental footprint.<\/p>\n<h3>Exact Details<\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoas.oregonstate.edu\/regional-class-research-vessel-ship-design\">complete list of specs and equipment <\/a>is offered by Oregon State University.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\">Designed for Science at Sea<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"oembed oembed-youtube-com\" style=\"\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bgiAU_b4RfY\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RCRV Part 2: Designed for Science at Sea\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bgiAU_b4RfY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A work day at sea for oceanographers and the ship&#8217;s crew often includes putting an awkward and\/or heavy package over the side.
