"This document contains project instructions for EX-16-08. Operations for this cruise will include shakedown and engineering tests for both the ship and the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER) and Global Foundation and Ocean Exploration (GFOE) ROV and telepresence systems. At the conclusion of the shakedown portion of the cruise the ship will participate in the ceremonies associated with the 75th commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The expedition will commence and end in Honolulu, Hawaii (21° 22.008'N, 157° 57.922'W). Operations will use the ship's deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, ADCPs, and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), NOAA's two-body 6000 m remotely operated vehicles (ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship to shore communications"--Page [2].
