<desc> Description: 
Identify documents that discuss the 
activities or equipment of oceanographic 
vessels.
  
<narr> Narrative: 
Relevant documents will contain information on
the activity of oceanographic vessels regardless
of nationality.  Such items as undersea mapping,
monitoring global warming, marine environmental
monitoring and the use of deep sea robots to 
search for sunken ships are relevant to oceanography
activity.  Also relevant are such actions as using
the vessel for research and development of new 
equipment or exploring oceanic resources.  Any 
reference to equipment in use aboard an oceanographic
vessel is relevant.  Documents that identify a vessel
as a survey ship which is involved in oceanographic
activity is also relevant.
