R/V Knorr, which will be retired when the new WHOI research ship is built, first entered the water in Bay City, Michigan on Aug. 21, 1968. Since then it has traveled more than one million miles in the service of oceanographic research. Knorr, which is owned by the U.S. Navy and operated by WHOI, received a major overhaul in 1989 and was refit in 2005 to carry the Long Core.
