4 NOAA Ship & Aircraft Activities/Changes in FY2009 and FY2010 Ship and Aircraft Activities/Changes: NOAA Ship s Albatross IV decommissioned on November 20, 2008 after 47 years of service. David Starr Jordan will be decommissioned in FY2010 after 44 years of service. King Air delivered to NOAA and conducting shakedown flights. Will replace NOAA Citation when the aircraft begins operational missions. o Citation has provided 22 years of service to NOAA. Lake will be transferred to another agency o Lake has provided 15 years of service to NOAA. NOAA Twin Otter based in Monterey, California for regional operations. Shakedown cruises being conducted aboard NOAA Ship Pisces in preparation for programmatic operations in FY2010. Bell M. Shimada is expected to be delivered to NOAA in FY2010.

9 NOAA Ship and Aircraft Acquisition Updates Issue: Ongoing construction issues has contributed to lengthy delays in delivery of Ferdinand R. Hassler and Bell M. Shimada. NOAA continues to work with primary contractor to expedite delivery. Status: Projected delivery of Ferdinand R. Hassler is currently March, Bell M. Shimada Acceptance Trials were conducted August 24, 2009 through August 27, Bell M. Shimada Acoustic Trials were conducted September 26 28, Results indicate multiple issues. Bell M. Shimada s delivery pending solutions to the acoustic exceedences and other outstanding items. Ferdinand R. Hassler being lifted into the water Bell M. Shimada NOAA s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) 9

10 NOAA Ship and Aircraft Acquisition Updates Status: Pisces Acoustic Trial at USN s AUTEC Range in the Bahamas was conducted on July 21 23, Initial testing showed abnormal oscillation of SSDG #1. Working on problem. Pisces A third P 3 aircraft is scheduled to be delivered to NOAA in the first quarter of FY2010. After installation of main data system, new communication system and advanced avionics, the aircraft will support Air Chemistry and Atmospheric Research missions.

11 NOAA Vessel Homeporting: Newport, Oregon Status: The lease for Marine Operations Center Pacific (MOC P) in Lake Union, WA expires in June, NOAA followed a competitive solicitation process in Washington and Oregon to award a new lease. On August 7, 2009 NOAA signed a 20 year lease with the Port of Newport, Oregon. In 2011 Newport will serve as homeport for Marine Operations Center Pacific berthing four NOAA vessels NOAA s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) 11

13 Fleet Recapitalization 1: Fishery Survey Vessels Two (i.e., Oscar Dyson and Henry B. Bigelow) of seven planned acoustically quiet Fisheries Survey Vessels (FSVs)are currently conducting operations. Two more FSVs (i.e., Pisces and Bell M. Shimada) expected to be fully operational in FY2010. $3M in PAC funds are anticipated in FY10 to continue design work for FSV 5. RFP closing date for FSV 6 construction was September 24, 2009 and Source Evaluation Board will convene to select contractor. Projected award March, Ship Homeport Commissioning Date Oscar Dyson Kodiak, AK 2005 Henry Bigelow Newport, RI 2007 Pisces Pascagoula, MS 2009 Bell M.

14 Fleet Recapitalization 2: NOAA Survey Vessels (NSVs) Six additional multi mission NOAA Survey Vessels (NSVs) will be placed in service between 2018 and 2024: o NSVs will replace: Two hydrographic survey vessels Four fisheries/ecosystem research vessels o NSV mission requirements are currently being analyzed. They are projected to have a common baseline configuration, with minor variations to support specific missions (e.g. hydrographic survey or fisheries/ecosystem research). One currently active ship which maintains buoy arrays used to understand climate change and El Nino Southern Oscillation events will undergo a service life extension. Phase II Recapitalization Plan being drafted to include entire fleet and look at cost effective ways to collect in situ data which may include use of other types of technology in addition to ships. 13
