The University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System and other national organizations aim to strategically revitalize the U.S. fleet via the acquisition of new vessels in various classes and with different capabilities. The latest to join the academic fleet is the Navy’s R/V Sally Ride, operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Oregon State University is proud to be leading the project that is developing the next-generation of regional class vessels that promise state-of-the-art platforms for the nation’s scientists and students to explore and develop understanding of our ocean planet.
Project timeline, including key milestones and stage gates set by the National Science Foundation.
The coastal ocean encompasses the most complex range of oceanic phenomena on the globe. Coastal regions are sensitive to human alteration from water and air pollution, resource extraction, transportation, and recreational activities. Wind-and freshwater-driven coastal currents directly affect regional climate. As conveyors for heat and salt and regions of strong vertical mixing, boundary currents play an outsized role in the large-scale ocean circulation. Vigorous interactions between the coastal ocean and the atmosphere control many biogeochemical processes (e.g., the exchange of macronutrients and micronutrients between the land, ocean, and continental margin sediments).
The coastal oceans are extremely productive, accounting for a large percentage of the world’s wild seafood and most of the aquaculture. They are the dominant sites for burial of organic matter, important in net marine uptake of atmospheric CO2, and locations of major hydrocarbon resources, including oil, gas, and methane gas hydrate. The coastal oceans can be sites of wind and wave energy extraction, play host to the deposition of river sediments, including dredge spoils, and are sites of tectonic activity, including hazardous earthquakes and tsunamis. To better understand such coastal phenomena and their importance in the Earth system, ocean scientists and educators must accelerate exploration and sustained regional observations of marine physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes.
Even with the development of new platforms to study the ocean—such as cabled observatories and underwater robots—coverage is scant, and ships are more vital than ever for
The RCRVs are targeted investments for multidisciplinary research and education on the marine environment.
The ships will operate in coastal regions worldwide—from shallow coastal bays and estuaries to and beyond the continental shelf and slope—and will make open ocean transits. Furthermore, they will be capable of operating in light first-year ice.
rCrV Capabilities:• Acoustic multibeam bottom mapping and sub-bottom
profiling• Launch and recovery of scientific packages, both
tethered and autonomous, using state-of-the art handling systems
• The collection, processing, and sharing of a mulititude of environmental data with shore based researchers and students

rCrV projeCt multi-disciplinary observations and sampling of the ocean.
In 2013, the National Science Foundation (NSF) selected Oregon State University to lead the design and construction of as many as three new coastal research vessels to address issues related to climate studies, ocean circulation, natural hazards, human health and marine ecosystems. In May 2015, the National Science Board (NSB) authorized Dr. France Córdova, the Director of NSF, to include the construction of RCRVs in future budget requests.
Gulf Island Shipyards LLC in Louisiana was selected in 2017
need• At the current rate of vessel retirements, the
academic oceanographic fleet will be reduced to 15 vessels by the time the RCRVs enter service. There are no federal agency plans for new vessel construction after the RCRVs.
• The new capabilities of these ships will be crucial for oceanographic research for the next 35-40 years and possibly longer.
• The RCRVs will combine versatility with cost efficiency.
• RCRV operation centers support local maritime industries.

benefits of the rCrVs: sCienCe, CommUnity & oUtreaChafter a 2-stage competitive proposal process to build and outfit the vessels. OSU received Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 funding for construction of the first vessel on June 30, 2017 allowing a contract to be issued by OSU to Gulf Island for the first vessel. The second and third vessels will be built as contract options provided additional anticipated funding is awarded in 2018 and 2019. Through advanced sensors, sampling systems and satellite communications the RCRVs will bring science at sea to classrooms, the public and researchers ashore for the next 30-40 years.
