<p>Dear Platform Group,
<br />
<br />Due to two codes for the same vessel, NOAA and ICES have agreed to deprecate the code 33GM for the vessel <a href='http://vocab.ices.dk/Request/Default.aspx?id=3093' target='_blank'>GEORGE K. MACKENZIE</a> from UNITED STATES(US). Do not use this code. The links below will lead to the appropriate code to use in future data exchange.
<br />
<br /><HR />
<br /><b>Original Requester : Susanne Reimert (susanne@ices.dk)</b>
<br />
<br />Code : 33GM
<br />Name : <a href='http://vocab.ices.dk/Request/Default.aspx?id=3093' target='_blank'>GEORGE K. MACKENZIE</a>
<br />Country(s) : UNITED STATES(US) (ISO Country Code)
<br />Title : USS
<br />Notes : Do not use this duplicate code. See 31JZ
<br />
<br /><b> Information Sources:</b>
<br />
<br />None found ..
<br />
<br /><b>Same Vessels Info:</b>
<br /><b>31JZ</b> - George K. MacKenzie
<br /><HR />
<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />Deleted attributes from 2015 Jan.5 submitted by Roy because of following message from Roy Lowry: "I have just added a set of attributes to ICES code 33GM, but after a little more digging in the WOD database and its mappings to ICES I have discovered that these should have been added to 31JZ (G.K. MCKENZIE: a misspelling, which is why I initially missed it). I'll submit a new set of attributes to 31JZ, but could you please prevent my causing confusion by wiping the new attributes from 33GM."

<br />
<br />33GM on SHIPC list since at least 1996. 31JZ is from at least 1991.

<br />Data for George K. MacKenzie under WOD 6208 where there are two entries - one with 31JZ information and one with 33GM information. http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/SELECT/accessions/readme_9400168.html

<br />There was another MacKenzie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_MacKenzie_(DD-614) which was commissioned 21 November 1942, decommissioned 4 February 1946 and in January 1947 entered the reserve fleet at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 July 1971. http://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/m/mackenzie-iii.html
<br />http://www.collectinghistory.net/dd614/navy2.html states "By Directive dated January 1947 the USS MACKENZIE went into mothballs as a member of the U.S. Atlantic Reserve Fleet." There is no indication that this vessel was used for data collection in the reserve fleet period 1947-1971. This is not the vessel for 33GM.
<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 06/01/2016 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />Strongly believe this is an accidental duplicate in ICES/WOD of 31JZ caused by MacKenzie being spelled McKenzie in the original entry. Believe there has only ever been one USS George K. MacKenzie.
