Summary 



The objective of the Navy program in ocean engineering is to 

 permit full utilization of the ocean environment in support of national 

 security. The capabilities required to achieve this objective can 

 only be developed with a broad base of proven technologies. Elimina- 

 tion of the deficiencies mentioned in each of the functional areas dis- 

 cussed is necessary to provide this sound and effective base of tech- 

 nology. Development programs must be closely coordinated and 

 continually reviewed to ensure that within the resources available 

 we are putting forth a maximum effort to eliminate these deficiencies.
