AND O.SMCOVERS THE OCEAN Ocean Science and Engineering, Inc. owns and operates the Gulfrex shown in this illus-tration. The Gulfrex is on a long-range, world-wide research cruise. This project calls for re-search in marine exploration and data gathering techniques. This special purpose vessel is just one of our scientific and engineering projects in the oceans. At OSE we know that the design of efficient special-purpose research vessels and work ships requires close cooperation between the naval architects who draw the plans and the men who will use the ships. At OSE there is a constant exchange of ideas between designers and users. In fact, these may be the same people, for unlike most design groups OSE builds ships for its own use, and is acutely aware of ways to keep costs down and performance up. In the past five years OSE's technical staff has designed, supervised construction, and operated a number of special purpose ships. Our ships are work ships, built to make work in a seaway as convenient as possible?and to make shipboard living as comfortable as possible. SPECIAL PURPOSE VESSELS Design ? Construction Supervision ?
