Works in Progress

R/V Atlantis (left) and R/V Neil Armstrong recently came out of drydock at Detyen’s Shipyards in Charleston, S.C. Atlantis was in for scheduled maintenance, while Neil Armstrong had the remainder of its science gear installed after sailing from Anacortes, Wash., where it was built. Both ships have busy schedules in 2016, with Atlantis transporting Alvin to dive sites in the Atlantic and Pacific, and Neil Armstrong beginning its career as a part of the U.S. academic research fleet.
