PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 6 record center cartons
DESCRIPTION: The accession consists of general files of the Nimitz
Marine Facility during the period 1947-1977, but largely document the
period 1948-1964. The Nimitz Marine Facility was established in
1948. These files were created and maintained by Mike Carr, MSO
and later administrative analyst at MarFac. The folder titles are coded.
The accession was accompanied by a file code directory. The
accession consists almost entirely of vessel operation files and
expedition files. Vessel operation files describe the acquisition,
maintenance, equipment and operation of SIO vessels. Expedition files
document crew, vessels, equipment and other aspects of ship
operations during specific expeditions. The files include
correspondence of marine superintendents, captains, expedition
leaders, and directors and officers of SIO. The collection includes 23
color photographs (3 ½ x 5) and negatives taken at the Nimitz Marine
Facility Dedication in April 1969. Added to this collection in Fall
1986 are 10 linear inches of the financial summary of ship operations
and 2 large folders broken down into summary of expeditions.
