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 of the NOAA Nancy Foster 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 and conductivity, temperature
and depth operations.
Nancy Foster employs state of the art navigation and
propulsion systems resulting in high quality and
efficient data collection.
We build this primarily wood
NOAA Nancy Foster model in three sizes: is
19", 29", and 39" long.
Model is built per commission only. We require only a
small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start
the process. The
remaining balance won't be due until the model is
completed,
in several months.
