George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 27/11/2023) states "Also visiting the University of Hawaii facility was the Washington State oceanographic ship THOMAS G THOMPSON (AGOR 23) (976826, IMO 8814419). She's one of four similar ships built by Halter Marine in the 1990s, and the only one that's a documented vessel. Three were built with Navy funds for use by major oceanographic institutions, and the fourth is the RONALD H BROWN (R104) funded by and for NOAA."
