Both ships were built by the U.S. Navy, are funded by the National Science Foundation, and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institu- tion on behalf of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System. Atlantis is best known as the support ship for Alvin, the country?s only deep- diving research submersible. Knorr was the ship on which Dr. Robert Ballard was sailing when he and his team dis-covered the wreck of Titanic in 1985.
