CHAPTER IV, SECTION 4 Figure 4-29. Buoy for Mooring Floating Dry-Dock craft provided by other Task Groups. In Bikini Lagoon it was necessary to place mooring buoys off the sites of each established camp. For moorings for large vessels, the assistance of ships of the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard was obtained. The work accomplished for large vessel moorings was as follows: (g) Replaced northern POL buoy off Elmer with telephone type buoy. This was replaced out of position and at the end of the operation was placed in proper position. (h) Recovered two riser type moorings off Janet, which were not replaced. (a) Recovered, overhauled and replanted AVR mooring off Fred. (j) Planted three telephone type moorings (b) Recovered and replanted POL moor- (i) Planted one riser type mooring off ings off Fred. The northern buoy was replaced with a telephone type buoy. (c) Inspected four telephone buoys in Eniwetok three. Lagoon; lifted and replaced (d) Planted two riser type moorings off Elmer. (e) Inspected three barge moorings off Elmer, which were found in good con- dition. (f} Inspected Dry-Dock moorings and replaced the buoy. Figure 4-29 shows the dry-dock moored and the buoy.

An interesting operation from the marine viewpoint was the work in connection with the movement and mooring of the Army-type, 585 ton barges fitted for the Zero Stations. Prior to the actual operations with these barges, a test barge having a large billboard to simulate the sail area of the actual Zero Station was moored off Fox for the study of the reaction of the barge to the various forces acting upon it. The barge remained in this area from May 1953 to September 1953. As a result of this study, which
