![]() The guests remained onboard as they transited back to the ship’s homeport of Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia. The three-day tiger cruise allowed Wyoming Blue Sailors to give friends and family a first-hand experience of life underway aboard a Trident submarine and a familiarity of the ship's day-to-day operations. The accident underscored the need for integrated real-time information to provide comprehensive situational awareness to mariners making safety and operational decisions.KINGS BAY, Ga.-The Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarine USS Wyoming Blue Crew (SSBN 742) temporarily gained 39 crew members, when family and friends embarked aboard the submarine for a tiger cruise, Oct. The first PORTS was established in 1991 in Tampa Bay following a deadly collision that occurred in 1981 an inbound freighter collided with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, causing a bridge collapse that killed 35 people. “This NOAA technology will provide submariners and pilots with real-time data to help them make informed decisions that will assist in minimizing risk to both personnel and Navy assets.” ![]() “The PORTS system installed is a critical navigational tool,” Commander Navy Region Southeast Rear Adm.Gary Mayes said. In addition to other noted benefits, these systems also improve hazardous spill response and enhance recreational activities. Navy, academia, and other stakeholders across the nation. PORTS is a partnership program with local port authorities, pilot associations, the U.S. “They also provide real-time, resilience-ready data as coastal conditions rapidly change, potentially threatening our coastal communities.” “These two new systems, and the others like them around the country, reduce ship accidents by more than 50 percent, increase the size of ships that can get in and out of seaports, and reduce traffic delays,” said Nicole LeBoeuf, acting director of NOAA’s National Ocean Service. Other local mariners and agencies will also have access to the real-time water level information, helping them better plan vessel transits and prevent mishaps. A new tide station on Seavey Island along the Piscataqua River will help protect shipyard personnel, critical facilities and U.S. The second site is near the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, whose primary mission is the overhaul, repair and modernization of the Navy’s nuclear-powered attack submarine fleet. With these new PORTS systems, we are making significant contributions to national security as well.” ![]() seaports move international cargo of nearly $1.5 trillion each year. “Making shipping and freighting in busy channels easier and safer is a NOAA priority, now that U.S. Timothy Gallaudet, Ph.D., assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and deputy NOAA administrator. “New PORTS systems play a vital role in our nation’s blue economy,” said retired Navy Rear Adm. This will greatly increase the navigation safety of vessels entering and exiting the channels of the St. The system near Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, the East Coast home to America’s Ohio-class submarines, is an integrated series of sensors which will provide critical real-time information on oceanographic and meteorological conditions. Navy partnered to install the first new PORTS in two years, the 34th and 35th in the nationwide network. ![]() Two new Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems, also known as PORTS Ⓡ, are improving maritime safety near Kings Bay, Georgia, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, near two U.S.
