As mentioned previously in Section 2.2, the CURTISS entered the contaminated
water in the lagoon fifteen times between 5 Warch and the end of Vay. Based on the
ship contamination model, a profile of the average intensity below deck due to the
contaminated water was reconstructed and presented in Figure 2-2.
This intensity
profile is time-integrated for each period in and out of the lagoon; results are detailed
below.
