We ask for any input you may wish to give us on this matter, or on anything else you wish concerning the ship, its operations or scheduling. There has been further informal talk of possible schedule changes and we must know your firm intent well in advance in order that U.S. Oceanography can plan maintenance, vacations, etc. We want at all cost to avoid a situation when the vessel is unused for a sustained period due to inadequate notice of proposed change.
