[Platforms] US Roy O. HALE

[Marilynn Sørensen]

Dear Platform Group, 

Don at NODC has discovered that there are two codes on the ICES list for the same US vessel, the Roy O. Hale. The codes are 31OJ and 3143. Note that only 3143 is used at NODC who decided some time ago to delete their "31OJ". To avoid deleting a code - unless someone objects - I will flag these codes as being the same vessel. 

Note that the name for 3143 has been changed from "R.O'Hale" to "Roy O.Hale" and the name for 31OJ has been changed from "R.O.Hale" to "Roy O. Hale".

Code: 3143 and 31OJ

Don, for this special case, I would prefer to have the decommissioned date as 15 July 1963 to span the entire period and have the specific details in the notes. Another option would be that NODC reinstates 31OJ for the fist commissioned dates of the vessel. What do you prefer?

Cheers,
Marilynn
