|
Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
Mercer's cruise must occur between Worcester's first and second cruises and must be coincident with Baggeroer's cruise |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The Melville has been used twice before with this equipment. The equipment is very large and the van/winch location is well established. |
