5.3.2 Procedure The B-47 will be based on Eniwetok Island. It will be instrumented by Wright Air Development Center contractors and Maval Radiological Defense Laboratory. The WADC will furnish the flight crew, Strategic Air Command will furnish the maintenance. desired positioning. Flight Participation in Shots Bravo, Yankee, Nectar, and Koon is planned. A Btraight fly-over pattern is desired. However, safety requirdments may dictate a pattern similar to the IVY pattern (time and distance). In any case, the aircraft will be on a radial out- ~ .

Cne ship will be equipped) with all prospective AW protective devices and fully instrumented; this ship will be identified as TRANSIT ABLE. The second ship, designated.as TRANSIT BAKER, will be completely unprotected, but instrumented -the same as the protected ship. TRANSIT BAKER will also incorporate:“special ventilation testa. Skeleton crews and instrumentation: parties will be removed from the drone ships prior to each shot at approximately H~3 hr by fleet tugs, sea conditions permitting, or by helicop ers, at which time complete radio control of the test vehicles wi initiated. The test ships under radio control will then steamto a rendezvous position some 10 to 20 miles downwind from the shot site, depending on the wind velocity, and at a predesignated time somewhere between H plus 1 or 2 hr will steam in @ straight line toward ground 38
