**Fleet Services Sub-Goal**
- Programs:
- Aircraft Services
- Aircraft Replacement
- Marine Operations and Maintenance
- Fleet Replacement

**Notes:**
Aircraft Services- primarily hurricane surveillance, reconnaissance of winter storms, large non-hurricane research related programs and aviation safety program

Aircraft Replacement- An additional P-3 will allow three P-3s to increase flight hours from 698 to 998.  To be delivered in Summer 2008.  

Marine Operations and Maintenance- 19 Ships that operate around the world.  NOAA Corps expects to bring on 34 more commissioned officers.  NOAA Dive program will conduct 12 training classes (100 days of training). Includes Teachers at Sea and Small boat safety programs.

Fleet Replacement- 2006- Henry B. Bigelow delivered to NOAA (FSV 2).  Pisces continues to be constructed (FSV 3). SWATH Critical design review is being conducted (a potential replacement for RUDE).  OKEANOS EXPLORER conversion continues in preparation for launch next year.  

## Fleet Services Sub-Goal

_**Supporting **__***all***__** of NOAA’s Mission Goals **_

**Mission Support Goal**

**The NOAA Leadership Seminar****August 2006**

**Notes:**
In a typical year, 70% of the NOAA ship days are allocated to supporting Ecosystem Mission Goal requirements, 20% of the NOAA ship days are allocated to supporting Commerce & Transportation Mission Goal requirements, 10% of the NOAA ship days are allocated to supporting Climate Mission Goal requirements, with a minimal amount of time allocated to supporting Weather and Water Mission Goal Requirements.  Aircraft hours, however are more heavily geared toward supporting Weather and Water Mission Goal Requirements.  P-3s and Gulfstream IV fly reconnaissance missions in and around hurricanes approaching the United States.  Other aircraft measure snow depth for predicting spring flooding in the Mississippi delta.  

## Fleet Services Sub-Goal

- We manage NOAA’s ship and aircraft fleet and assist NOAA programs in outsourcing to meet at-sea and airborne data collection requirements of NOAA's Mission Goals
- We safely and efficiently operate NOAA ships and aircraft, incorporate emerging data-acquisition technologies, and provide a specialized, professional team responsive to NOAA programs
- We (1) provide educated and trained uniformed commissioned officers to NOAA Programs, (2) manage the NOAA Dive program, (3) administer the Small Boat and Aviation Safety programs and (4) the Teacher at Sea / Teacher in the Air programs

**How We Support NOAA**

**The NOAA Leadership Seminar****August 2006**

**Notes:**
Our ships and aircraft make scientific research possible for NOAA. Without our platforms, research would either not be conducted or outsourced through chartering at a more expensive cost.  Our ships and aircraft are also the ‘face’ of NOAA to American citizens and to the world.
