The University of Delaware's new research vessel the Hugh R. Sharpe
recently delivered from Dakota Creek Industries of Anacortes Washington
is fitted with retractable transducer pod, articulating stern gantry,
wet lab, dry lab, forward gear deployment boom and CTD handling system.
It incorporates in one vessel many of the most sought after features
found on scientific research vessels around the world. The following
link explains the many interesting features of this new vessel,
including an ability to operate in "Quiet Mode" at 8 kts using
technology borrowed from designers of submarines.  Many of these
features may someday be incorporated in Great Lakes research vessels.
