  4. ONR Report • 2005 Navy field work is down about 25% over 2004, this is primarily project driven rather than budget driven and use is expected to be up in 2006 • Use of ONR sponsored alternative platforms (FLIP and CIRPAS Aircraft) are projected to be up in 2005 • Facilities budget is stable which will allow the opportunity for habitability, scientific and mechanical upgrades for the AGOR vessels.

  5. Ocean Class • The common hull/Ocean Class study is essentially complete. • The Science Mission requirements have been largely defined. • There is presently no construction funding, but it appears guardedly optimistic for FY2006 and we are expecting to move forward with construction planning.

  6. Z Drives • Z drive problem which has plagued Navy AGOR vessels appears to be behind us. • All Z drive vessels are now equipped with Klinglenberg gears which have operated with no failures to date. • University of Washington has been funded to implement a monitoring system on the Z drive components and perform engineering studies aimed at failure prevention.
