Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 40, No. 1, Pg. 16:
Midlife refit upgrades to Oceanus completed in 1994 included a one-third increase in laboratory space, from 1,054 to 1,390 square feet. Science berthing increased from 12 to 15, and an additional 4 berths are also available in a portable van. The heating-ventilation-air conditioning system was fully replaced, and new refrigerators and a freezer were installed along with new main and auxiliary exhaust systems. The ship was equipped with a rebuilt reduction gear, a new crane, a bigger A-frame, a new capstan, a new anchor windlass, and a new emergency generator. The main engine was overhauled and upgraded, and a new structure (forward shaded area) was built to house the pilot house, chart room, and communications room.
