OCEANOGRAPHY IN THE UNITED STATES 



Fig. 7. HORIZON, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The HORIZON is 

 a converted oceangoing tug, steel hulled and Diesel-electric driven, with a 

 cruising range of 15,000 miles at a speed of 10.5 knots. For a complement 

 of 17 crew and 19 scientific staff, food and water is sufficient for 60 days. 

 On a relatively clear, open -deck area abaft the laboratory is mounted a 

 large A-frame rising some 28 feet above the deck, which pernnits handling 

 of any heavy, bulky weights such as Kullenberg corers or midwater trawls. 

 A nneteorological laboratory containing radiosonde and other equipment is 

 located on the bridge deck.
