Image Of the Day caption:
Ships mean a lot to Dick Pittenger. He retired after 32 years in the Navy as an admiral and led WHOIs Marine Operations Division from 1990 to 2004. During that time, he oversaw mid-life conversions of the research vessels Knorr and Oceanus; construction of the coastal research vessel Tioga; installation of the tethered vehicles Argo, Medea/Jason, and DSL-120 into the National Deep Submergence Facility; the successful grant proposal for a major upgrade for the submersible Alvin, and construction of R/V Atlantis, which he recently watched returning to Woods Hole. He now steers WHOIs Development Office and anticipates the arrival of WHOIs next ship, Neil Armstrong.
