# Talk:Weather ship

How were they kept stationary ? Were they anchored ? Or did they in fact circle a defined area ?
Normal operation for a weather ship was to have a designated area of operation. The ship would steam to the windward edge of the area then drift until they reached the edge of the area, then repeat.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by UncertainScientist (talk • contribs) 16:15, 8 November 2023 (UTC) 

After remaining a stub article for over six years, improvement in the Braer Storm of January 1993 article led to the improvement of this article, since it was being used as a source of information via a wikilink.  Thegreatdr (talk) 17:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

I have dropped a couple of maps onto Wikimedia, showing the locations of the ships, and wondered whether they might help the article. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:45, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

The location of Tango is incorrect in the Figure, it is at 135E not 135W (reference added). I've corrected this in the table but haven't replaced the Figure. UncertainScientist (talk) 17:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
