CHAPTER IV, SECTION 4 Pope PR I 4 EB é ‘: £ : Figure 4-29. Buoy for Mooring Floating Drv-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 mooringsfor 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: (zg) 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) Reenvered, overhauled AVR mooring off Fred. (*) Planted three telephone type moorings off Tare. (b) Recovered and (i) Planted one riser type mooring off Fred. replanted POL moorings off Fred. The northem buoy was replaced with a telephone type buoy. (c) Inspected four telephone buoys in Eniwetok Lagoon; lifted and replaced three, Planted Elmer. two riser type moorings off (e) Inspected three barge moorings off Elmer. which were found in good coa dition. (f) Inspected Dry-Dock moorings and i+placed the buoy. Figure 4-29 shows tie drv-dock moored and the buoy, (k) Planted two POL moorings off Sugar. WATERBORNE SCIENTIFIC STATIONS. An interesting operation from the marine viewpoint was the work in connection with the movement and mooring of the Armvy-type. 585 ton harges fitted for the Zero Statiors. Prior to the actual operations with these baizes. 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 varios forces acting upon it. The harge remained in this area from May 1953 to September 1953. As a result of this study, which Page 4-38 * anint ’ oe anata wiccaStites
