 laboratories, fiscal year 1958 



[Dollar amounts in thousands] 



1 Does not include ship operating costs. The oceanogi-aphic work at 3 Navy-operated laboratories and 

 2 laboratories operated under contract by a single Navy agency is included in this category. Also includes 

 U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office, Division of Oceanography.

As noted previously, data cited in the NASCO report exclude funds 

 for military oceanography and funds for operation of research ships 

 whose program is devoted to military oceanography. Reiterating, 

 ])rograms in military oceanography are inclined to be heavily oriented 

 toward development of hardware, and thus are not in the category of 

 research within the intent of those considering the present posture of 

 the United States. Moreover results are usually classified, and thus 

 denied the public access that characterizes scientific results. In the 

 case of ship operating costs in the category of military oceanography, 

 the budgets are usually imbedded in much broader accounts for units 

 of the_ fleet engaged in general development, test, and evaluation 

 activities, and thus exceedingly difficult to separate. Moreover, these 

 same ships often engage in a plurality of missions including training 

 of crew such that assignment of costs for a single phase of their pro- 

 gram would be clearly impracticable. Certain survey and oceanog- 

 raphic activities of the Navy Hydrogi'aphic Office were included by 

 NASCO, but in now being classified, are regarded by the Navy as 

 military oceanography. . . . ,
