Ship operations and ONR Report

The 2005 ONR report highlights notable trends in naval research vessel operations, indicating a 25% decrease in Navy field work compared to 2004, primarily due to project demands rather than budget constraints. There is optimism for 2006 as usage is expected to increase. Alternative platforms like FLIP and CIRPAS Aircraft are anticipated to see increased use this year. The facilities budget remains stable, allowing improvements in upgrades for AGOR vessels. Construction planning for the common hull Ocean Class is moving forward, and challenges with Z-drive systems have been addressed, showing promising outcomes.

  4. ONR Report • 2005 Navy field work is down about 25% over 2004, this is primarily project driven rather than budget driven and use is expected to be up in 2006 • Use of ONR sponsored alternative platforms (FLIP and CIRPAS Aircraft) are projected to be up in 2005 • Facilities budget is stable which will allow the opportunity for habitability, scientific and mechanical upgrades for the AGOR vessels.

  5. Ocean Class • The common hull/Ocean Class study is essentially complete. • The Science Mission requirements have been largely defined. • There is presently no construction funding, but it appears guardedly optimistic for FY2006 and we are expecting to move forward with construction planning.

  6. Z Drives • Z drive problem which has plagued Navy AGOR vessels appears to be behind us. • All Z drive vessels are now equipped with Klinglenberg gears which have operated with no failures to date. • University of Washington has been funded to implement a monitoring system on the Z drive components and perform engineering studies aimed at failure prevention.
