[Platforms] Lithuanian Vejas call sign confusion]

Roy:  SEE BELOW

Since Syd L.'s group has data, they do not want an additional code 
assigned UNLESS there is  data which will be sent to NODC, soon.

Mitch,

Ship name VEJAS (NODC Code LTVE, OC5 Code 6914) is assigned to the 
former ship "LEV TITOV"   that has NODC Code 90LV (OC5 Code 6447). I 
found that the OC5 Data Base has data from "LEV TITOV" from 1985 to 
1990. These data are linked to the NODC Code 90LV. OC5 Data Base doesn't 
have any data from R/V "VEJAS".    These two ships, "VEJAS" and "LEV 
TITOV", are the same ship that was renamed in 1992. I suggest to stick 
with the "LEV TITOV" code 90LV (OC5 Code 6447) and include information 
about ship name change into comments to the NODC Code 90LV.

Regester of ships 1990-91 shows:  Lev Titov; built in 1980; IMO *7833016*.
Regester of ships 2006-07 shows:  Vejas; ex Lev Titov 1992; call sigh 
LYDS; built in 1980; IMO *7833016

*Alexandra.
