Since the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy has provided state-of-the-art research ships to select universities and oceanographic institutions to facilitate mutually beneficial scientific studies of the marine environment. On Sept. 23, the Dakota Creek Industries shipyard in Anacortes, Washington, delivered the newest research vessel, R/V Neil Armstrong, to the Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR)—which then turned it over to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
