<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />Possibly the same ship as 64CU, but there was another Dutch weather ship known as SS Cumulus (callsign PBVD) operating until 1963. The ship that became 74UM had the Dutch callsign PBVQ (https://sites.google.com/site/radiowavesandbowwaves/home/o-s-v-cumulus)
