Article <5832@xanth.cs.odu.edu> was an (inexplicably?) useful and
interesting posting from K*nt listing the current NOAA fleet of
research ships.  Thanks!  Of the list, only one had the sex appeal
NASA would want for a shuttle -- Surveyor.  Terrific name.  There's
just this one TEENSY little problem... :-)

(Actually I think the same problem would pertain to these as to my
suggestion of Nautilus -- the namesake boat is still in service.)
