Based on the Royal Australian Navy's Fantome-class survey launches, Wyatt Earp was built specifically for hydrographic survey duties in Antarctic waters.
Design and construction
Wyatt Earp is a smaller version of the Fantome class survey launches used by the Royal Australian Navy, modified for operations in Antarctic waters.[1] The vessel has a full load displacement of Шаблон:Convert, is Шаблон:Convert long at the waterline and Шаблон:Convert in length overall, and has a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[1] Propulsion is provided by two Volvo Penta AQAD 41D/SP290 diesels, which provide Шаблон:Convert to the two outdrives.[1] Maximum speed is Шаблон:Convert, and Wyatt Earp has a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[1] When built, the boat's sensor suite includes a JRC JMA-2141 navigation radar, an STN Atlas Elektronik Deso 22 echo sounder, and a differential GPS receiver.[1] Wyatt Earp has a complement of four to five.[1][2]
Wyatt Earp was built by Pro Marine at Seaford, Victoria.[1] She entered service in 1993.[1]
Operational history
Wyatt Earp is operated by the Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS).[3] The vessel is not used on a constant basis; her deployment can only occur if a resupply ship chartered by the Australian Antarctic Division is capable of transporting and serving as a base ship to Wyatt Earp and the AHS's Deployable Geospatial Support Team.[3]
The boat was deployed to the Antarctic during 2003 and 2004.[2]
Wyatt Earp was not sent to the Antarctic again until December 2013.[2] During the two-month operation, the survey craft was deployed from Aurora Australis on seven occasions for survey work in the waters around Casey Station.[2]
