<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />USCG database disambiguates two CARETTA platforms: the fishing vessel CARETTA used to collect oceanographic data has call sign WNG614
<br />(Don Collins 31/08/2018 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />F5801 is not the pennant. An ID of some sort. See https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/14342d00-5abd-11e4-8ed6-0800200c9a66.guide

<br />
<br />http://boatdb.net/port/pascagoula-ms_2.htm gives 1978 as build year for NOAA's Caretta
<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 06/07/2015 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />Caretta has been found with two call signs: WYA 3179 and WNG 615. Confirmation needed.
<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 06/07/2015 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />594578 is on the hull of the Caretta
