NOAA NANCY FOSTER ship model
The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research
vessel Nancy Foster was originally built as a Navy yard
torpedo test craft, Agate Pass, at McDermott Shipyards
in Amelia, Louisiana and launched in September, 1990.
In 2001,
the Navy transferred the vessel to NOAA, outfitted to
conduct coastal research along the U.S. Atlantic, Gulf
coasts, and the Caribbean. The new ship was
commissioned May 10, 2004.
The ship is named for Dr. Nancy Foster, who was the
director of the National Marine Fisheries Service’s
Office of Protected Resources from 1986 until 1993, and
the director of the National Ocean Service from 1997
until her death in 2000.
Nancy Foster has a total of 37 bunk spaces. She
carries a complement of six NOAA Corps officers, 15 crew
including three licensed engineers, and up to 15
visiting scientists.
The deck equipment features two winches and two deck
cranes, along with an aft A-Frame and a port side
A-Frame. This equipment gives the crew the ability
to do a variety of over-the-side oceanographic
operations including launching and tending Remotely
Operated Vehicles (ROV) and conductivity, temperature
and depth (CTD) operations.
Nancy Foster employs state of the art navigation and
propulsion systems resulting in high quality and
efficient data collection.

Sir/Ma'am,
I have two beautiful models from
you, the
NOAA Ship Ron Brown and the NOAA Ship Nancy
Foster. I was wondering if you could recommend a
sturdy display case with the proper dimensions for
each. I am excited to get them on placed and
protected. Regards, Jamison Grinnell,
NOAA Federal."
