NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette

NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette is a multipurpose oceanographic research vessel that conducts fisheries assessments, physical and chemical oceanography research, marine mammal and marine debris surveys. The ship operates throughout the central and western Pacific Ocean.

A T-AGOS class vessel, Oscar Elton Sette was originally built for the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command, working as the U.S. Naval Ship Adventurous from 1988 to 1992. In 1992, the 224-ft. ship was transferred to NOAA, which converted it to a research vessel, replacing the 39-year-old NOAA Ship Townsend Cromwell in 2003. Because it acoustically quieted, it is particularly well suited to conduct fisheries research and marine mammal surveys.
