MOORING SYSTEMS FOR PACIFIC MISSILE RANGE BUOYS AT ENIWETOK ATOLL.
Abstract
This report covers an engineering study which had the objective of providing a preliminary design for an improved mooring system for buoys for the ''All Weather Impact Location System'', Eniwetok, Marshall Islands to be operated by the U. S. Air Force. Seven (7) telemetering buoys are operated for a classified purpose at Eniwetok. Mechanical difficulties have been experienced in the existing mooring systems. Both three-wire and onewire taut-line moorings have been used in conjunction with lightweight anchor and stainless steel ropes, with limited success. Mechanical noise and frequent breakage of mooring lines are major problems. (Author)
