The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM.

The first four ships, Parramatta (III), YARRA, STUART and Derwent, were a modified version of the Royal Navy's Type '12' Whitby and Rothesay Class frigates, which had very good sea-keeping qualities. Swan (III) and Torrens (II) were a derivation of the Royal Navy's Leander Class general purpose frigate, which was itself a development of the Type '12'. http://www.navy.gov.au/HMAS_Swan_(III) KBV04 SEXU KBV105 SMZJ Swedish Coast Guard KEIFU MARU Operation dates: 1969 to 2000 KOFU MARU 8JNZ LLOYD'S # 5406118 KOFU MARU IMO 5406118 Built 1963.

(Anna Osypchuk 11/02/2015 00:00:00) Transliteration rules in USSR and Ukraine changed with time. To keep consistency in names, and to underline that the name was not changed together with the flag, we suggest to use the current spelling Viktor Bugayev for both vessel codes. The US NODC had it as 90VC VICTOR BUGAEV until 2009-04-17 when it was changed to 90VC VIKTOR BUGAYEV. At present, the US NODC platform table includes 90VC - VIKTOR BUGAYEV and URVC - VICTOR BUGAEV. (2010) Book: Russian Marine Expeditionary investigations of The world Ocean. Found call sign ERES for Viktor Bugaev. (2010) Information supplied by Alexey Khaliulin. Only flag given as USSR, which fits with the decommissioned date. (2010)
