The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in an effort to update its aging fleet of research ships, awarded a $178M Navy contract to Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors of Houma, La. Thoma-Sea’s contract calls for the detailed design and construction of two new oceanographic ships for NOAA, which is acquiring the vessels through an agreement with the Naval Sea Systems Command. The first ship, to be named Oceanographer, will be homeported in Hawai’i. The second, to be named Discoverer, will be assigned a homeport in the future.
