Welcome aboard survey ship USNS Michelson (T-AGS-23). For 17 years (1958-75) Michelson collected data about the earth's oceans and created navigational charts. John Hansen was a member of the ship's Navy oceanographic team from late 1962 through 1964. Here are his recollections and reminiscences of people, places and ports of call.
