Navy building dedicated

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. — The Naval Oceanographic Office has dedicate a new ocean sciences building that consolidates many of the agency’s operations. The $47.1 million building includes 171,600 square feet of space and is within walking distance of NAVOCEANO’s headquarters. NAVOCEANO’s Stennis operation employs about 1,000 Navy and civilian workers. The command operates a fleet of survey ships that map ocean bottoms and collect other data to support Department of Defense operations. (Source: Sun Herald, 05/27/09)
