SIO Ship Operations and Marine Technical Support (Robert L. Fisher). Records 1948-1987  
Provenance: Before 1981, SOMTS records received by SIO Archives were integrated into the  
SIO Subject files (81-16) under the names of ships, expeditions or offices. In 1981, Dr. Robert L.  
Fisher transferred six folders on the Alpha Helix program to the Archives. In 1982, six record  
center cartons of Ship Scheduling Office records were accessioned by the Archives as 82-79 and  
82-102. The first accession contained expedition files and clearances for R/V Alpha Helix from  
the 1970s, as well as expedition files for other ships. The second contained files regarding R/V  
Alpha Helix and the Alpha Helix Program which were kept by the Ship Scheduling Office after  
the Alpha Helix Program ended. Another 18 record center cartons were transferred from Ship  
Scheduling to Archives in August 1993 and accessioned as 93-16. These SOMTS files contained  
ship support proposals, Marine Operations Committee files, expedition files, ship time requests,  
clearances, and vessel information. The four accessions were integrated as 93-16 [AC17].  
Administrative History: Ship Operations and Marine Technical Support (SOMTS), is the  
technical support division of SIO. SOMTS provides ship scheduling, foreign clearances and  
marine technical support. It includes Shipboard Technical Support Services and the Chester W.  
Nimitz Marine Facility. SOMTS worked closely with the Alpha Helix Program Office from 1966  
to 1980. This collection consists of records of the SOMTS office from 1948 to 1987, primarily  
from 1974 to 1980, under Associate Director Robert L. Fisher.  
While SIO has used research ships since early in its history -- R/V Alexander Agassiz (1907-  
1917), R/V Scripps (1925-1936), and R/V E.W. Scripps (1937-1955)--it wasn't until 1948, when  
SIO began building a research fleet, that the office of Marine Facilities was formed. In 1948, SIO  
acquired R/V Horizon, Paolina T., Crest, and the buoy boats. R/V Spencer F. Baird was added in  
1951. Marine Facilities, under Marine Superintendent Finn Outler, was created to manage ship  
operations for the growing fleet. After Finn Outler, the position of Marine Superintendent was  
held by Clemens W. Stose (1950-1953), Clifford W. Campbell (1954-1956), Peter G. Trapani  
(1956-1972), and Peter S. Branson (1972-1979). The Nimitz Marine Facility in Point Loma was  
dedicated in 1966, providing berthing for the SIO fleet.  
From 1968 to 1974, Associate Director George Shor was responsible for the administration of  
ship operations, units of which were dispersed throughout SIO. In 1974, Marine Facilities and  
various separate technician groups were organized into Ship Operations and Marine Technical  
Support. Robert L. Fisher was appointed Associate Director, Ship Operations and Marine  
Technical Support in July 1974, and Peter S. Branson continued as head of the Nimitz Marine  
Facility. George Shor succeeded Robert L. Fisher as head of SOMTS in 1980. In 1985, the  
SOMTS Marine Technology Group was combined with the Oceanographic Data Facility to form  
Shipboard Technical Support Services. George Shor retired in 1991, after which Robert A. Knox  
was appointed head of SOMTS.  
Arrangement: The SOMTS Records contain files on ship operations for the years 1948-1987,  
with the majority being from the years 1972-1980, under Associate Director Robert L. Fisher.  
The collection consists of the following series:  
PROPOSALS; MARINE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE; EXPEDITIONS; VESSELS; SHIP  
SCHEDULING; CLEARANCES; and ALPHA HELIX PROGRAM.  
The arrangement of the SOMTS office records had been disturbed over time, with parts of series  
interspersed with other series. Series have been reunited; however, arrangement within series  
was not always apparent, and the Proposals, Expeditions, and Clearances series have been  
rearranged to improve access. Proposals have been arranged chronologically by year, then  
numerically by proposal number. Expedition files and clearances for expeditions have been  
arranged alphabetically first by ship name, then by expedition name. Other files are arranged  
alphabetically by folder title.  
Scope and Content Notes: The Proposals Series contains files on ship support proposals from  
1971 to 1983, mostly to the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research, for  
ship operations support, marine technician support, and oceanographic equipment. They are  
grouped chronologically by year, and then numerically by UCSD proposal number. There is also  
a section on proposals by and for other institutions.  
The Marine Operations Committee Series contains correspondence, minutes, and memoranda  
from the Marine Operations Committee, which discusses funding, vessels, equipment, personnel,  
and other aspects of ship operations for SIO. The series also includes MOC subcommittees, SIO  
Staff Council, UC Ship Funds Committee, and Marine Facilities.  
The Expeditions Series contains expedition files for Alexander Agassiz, Alpha Helix, Dolphin,  
Ellen B. Scripps, Gianna, Melville, Oconostota, Severiana, and Thomas Washington. They are  
arranged alphabetically by ship and then by expedition name. The series also contains expedition  
summary reports, correspondence on foreign distribution of scientific cruise reports, and two  
folders on the naming of expeditions.  
The Vessels Series contains files on the acquisition, construction, maintenance, improvement,  
and sale of various SIO ships, primarily R/V Ellen B. Scripps and R/V Thomas Washington. The  
series includes weekly progress reports on the construction of Thomas Washington, with  
photographs of the ship taken in each stage of construction. Information about R/V Alpha Helix  
can be found in the Alpha Helix Program Series.  
The Ship Scheduling Series contains ship time requests and correspondence on ship scheduling  
for SIO ships during the years 1967-1987.  
The Clearances Series contains foreign and U.S. State clearances, permits, and correspondence.  
General permits are given for the U.S. and Mexico, followed by foreign clearances, arranged  
alphabetically by ship and then by expedition name. Clearances are also be grouped into  
Mexican and foreign clearances. Included is a section on foreign participants on SIO expeditions.  
The Alpha Helix Program Series contains two large subseries, Alpha Helix and Alpha Helix  
Program, regarding the vessel and the program management, respectively. The series consists of  
correspondence and subject files on the Alpha Helix program, including correspondence on  
proposed programs and post-cruise evaluation forms for Alpha Helix.

Arrangement of Collection: Chronological  
Description: The accession consists of original photographic negatives and prints  
documenting the construction of R/V ROGER REVELLE (AGOR 24) under Naval  
Sea Systems Command contract. The vessel superstructure was built at Trinity  
Marine Group shipyard at Gulfport, Mississippi, then transported by barge to  
Halter Marine Shipyard at Moss Point, Mississippi, where the vessel was  
completed. Photographs were taken by SIO Nimitz Marine Facility Ship  
Construction Coordinator Edwin Petersen as a record of the construction; Petersen  
was responsible for overseeing construction & monitoring contract performance &  
schedules. The accession includes negatives & 1-2 sets of prints. Print sets are  
sometimes incomplete, & some negatives are missing. Negatives are arranged  
chronologically. One set of prints is mounted on 5X7” index cards which includes  
a date, photograph group number, title or identifying information & remarks. The  
second set of prints is arranged in envelopes. The first photograph was taken  
October 7, 1993, the day before construction began. The last photograph was taken  
as the ship was being fitted out on June 3, 1996. The photographs include images  
of the construction & the keel laying ceremony (9 December 1993). There are also  
images of the launching of USNS PATHFINDER (October 7, 1993) & NOAA ship  
R/V RONALD H. BROWN (May 30, 1996). The accession includes one group of  
photographs taken when the R/V ROGER REVELLE was underway (March  
1996). These images include photographs of crew & other individuals, including  
Robert Knox & Thomas Althouse.
