Note
  • "During the six-month cruise [spring-summer 1964], the Pioneer sailed across 31,500 miles of ocean from Oakland, California, to the Indian Ocean and back, visiting Hawaii, the Philippine Republic, Borneo, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Ceylon, Indonesia, and the Trust Territories of Palau Islands and Guam Island ... The men aboard the Pioneer recorded the variation in forces of gravity and magnetic field of the earth ... they charted the mountains and valleys of the ocean floor ... they measured the temperature, salinity, and oxygen content of the sea water ... and deep-ocean currents"--P. [1]
