Appendix II 



Notes on Manpower and Training 



The following quotation from the PSACPOO report is pertinent. 



". . . the Navy has been a major consumer of the output of aeademic ocean- 

 ography in both manpower and .science. Without increased numbers of scientists 

 and engineers knowledgeable about oceans the Navy cannot carry out many 

 of the programs reviewed above. Likewise, without the generalizations produced 

 by academic research the Navy cannot efl5ciently utilize information collected 

 to support these programs. 



"For these reasons the Panel strongly recommends that the Navy con- 

 tinue its support of academic research in education related to oceans . . . 

 the Navy's budget for oceanography has almost doubled in the fiscal year 1965-G7 

 period. The Navy's contribution to academic oceanography in the area of basic 

 research during the period has remained constant. ... It is important that the 

 Navy maintain a proportionality between the support of academic research 

 in education and its total oceanographic program. This would imply a marked 

 increase in support of academic oceanography if the proportionality prior to 1965 

 is to be maintained as the whole Navy program expands. We suggest, in addition, 

 that the ONR might profitably re-examine the particular importance of ocean 

 science and technology to the Navy's basic mission."
