"RV Sir Horace Lamb was a Navy owned former mine warfare vessel assigned to the Columbia University, Geophysical Field Station research facility in Bermuda for acoustic research operating from 1959 to 1976. The ship was the former USS Redpoll (AMS-57/YMS-294), a YMS-1-class minesweeper of the YMS-135 subclass built and commissioned as YMS-294 in 1943. During the war YMS-294 served on the U.S. West Coast, Hawaiian Islands and the Marshall Islands assigned patrol and escort duty as well as mine sweeping. In December 1945 the vessel returned to Hawaii and in early 1946 transited to the East Coast for inactivation but was instead placed in service eventually in Naval Reserve training duties. In 1952 Redpoll was assigned to Norfolk, Virginia. The ship served in training duties in both a commissioned and \"in service\" (non-commissioned) status at Yorktown, Virginia and Chattanooga, Tennessee before being stricken from the Navy list and converted to research duties. After conversion Sir Horace Lamb operated from 1959 to 1976 out of the Geophysical Field Station research facility in Bermuda, also known as the Bermuda SOFAR station, engaged in Navy sponsored acoustic research related to SOFAR. The vessel operated in the North Atlantic and Caribbean supporting geophysical and acoustic research programs. Though primarily engaged in acoustic and geophysical work the ship accommodated scientists working on other subjects during those normal operations and was available for charter when not scheduled for the primary mission. The ship was also used in the Bermuda area supporting other Navy and military projects, including early work in establishing means of detecting underground nuclear testing. Sir Horace Lamb was largely crewed by Bermudians and was retired in 1976 when a last voyage was made to the United States for disposal by Navy sale 1 December 1976."@en . . .
