<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />US NODC used the code 33B5 as a collective code to distinguish small launches from the main ship THOMAS JEFFERSON, rather than have an individual code for each small boat launched from the main ship. This may not be a 'best practice' in the current era of platform identifier management efforts, but that is the distinction/disambiguation between 33B5 and 33TJ.

<br />US NODC seems to have 2 codes for the same vessel: 33TJ (WOD 8682) and 33B5 (WOD 8980). More information is required.

<br />
<br />US NODC uses code 33TJ for this platform, World Ocean Database (OC5) code 8682.
