randomly selected primary and secondary stations 

 and terminated at a point near the Mississippi 

 River Delta designated 99-99 (Figure 3). Outputs 

 were the same as for the West Delta except for 

 treatment of the stations randomly selected which 

 appear in blocks 45, 46, 47, and 48. These were not 



included in the optimized cruise track, but were 

 listed at the end of the optimized cruise track list- 

 ing. The stations in these blocks were added to the 

 end of the optimized cruise track and plotted as 

 individual points labeled with their Pascagoula 

 number.

 starting point and dot labeled 99-99 is end point for one-way cruise track optimization. Primary and secondary areas are indicated by 

 arrows at top of figure.
