The use of the LSTS during the initial stages of the survey protided excellent quarters, and gave the party the desired mobility.
Officers and crews of these ships were most cooperative.
The operation of the section progressed as planned. During the
months of December and January, the section missed its staff representation when the section engineer was recalled to Washington, but this
situationwas corrected in February by his return.
Much of the work done by this section will be available and useful
for future experiments. The technical parts of this report should be
given careful custody, both here on Eniwetok and in the future. A
