<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />Conflict resolved by Edward Cooper at noc.ac.uk. IMO number is 9588029.
<br />http://noc.ac.uk/research-at-sea/ships/rrs-discovery-replacement to be corrected to 9588029.

<br />Found IMO 9588029 on the web and supplied by Edward Cooper. http://noc.ac.uk/research-at-sea/ships/rrs-discovery-replacement says 9588028.

<br />
<br />This may seem premature, but I thought it worth flagging the fact that a new RRS Discovery was coming. I've requested IMO and callsign information and will add them when I get them. The current ship in on her last cruise and will be decommissioned in December.
