<P>Dear Roy and Mitch,<BR><BR>I have looked into Oceanic and NODC codes for
Kaiyo and compared them to ICES codes.</P>
<P>ICES proposes to:</P>
<P>1) Add information to the existing code: </P>
<P><STRONG>49BE</STRONG>, call sign <STRONG>8LYT</STRONG>, Kaiyo, country Japan,
1964/03 - 1993/09, pennant HM06<BR></P>
<P>2) Create the following codes:<BR><STRONG>49Q1</STRONG>, callsign
<STRONG>JKOY</STRONG>, Kaiyo, country Japan, 1948-05 to 1964-03, pennant
MH01<BR><STRONG>49Q2</STRONG>, callsign <STRONG>JRPG, </STRONG>Kaiyo, country
Japan, built 1985-05 to present, IMO8223684, JAMSTEC research vessel,
length 62 m<BR><STRONG>49F5</STRONG>, callsign <STRONG>JGBF</STRONG>,
Kaiyo, country Japan, 1993-10 to present, pennant HL05, IMO9058737, research
vessel, built 1993, 60 m<BR><BR>3) Designate two existing KAIYO codes
as "multiple hulls":<BR><BR><STRONG>49B5</STRONG> (currently no
information) with link to 49BE, 49Q1, 49Q2, 49F5</P>
<P><STRONG>49XK</STRONG> (conflicting information)<FONT size=2><FONT size=3>
ICES=8LYT, NODC=(8LYT), Oceanic=JGBF. Link 49XK to </FONT></FONT><FONT
